Thanks for your reply. No matter what I have read, it doesn’t seem to make sense!
I’ve followed that guide, and ive made a blog and home page in WP Admin.
I’ve cut my content out of my static index.php front page, so all that is left is get_header and get_footer
and i’ve pasted my content into my home page in wp admin – but now its gone nuts!

Thanks for your reply, I have read the article.

The problem I have is, my index file contains, get_header and get_footer functions with my front page content in between. If I cut my content out from my index.php file and move it to home.php using WP Admin, my site goes nuts!

Do I need a get_content function or something in between get_header and get_footer?

LOL! Sorry, after several hours of pulling out my hair, I believe I have solved that issue, although now I have another one….

Both in my navigation, and my footer, I have links to different pages.
I think I have a mental block because I don’t know how to add more pages and make the navigation work, as well as how to make a blog page.

Do I make say a services page in .php and upload it as normal in my wpcontent/themes folder

or

Do I have to make the pages using the page tool in the WP Admin?

Either way how do I get the pages to only change the index section of the page and not the header, footer, etc?
