Pages are the key to displaying static content on your WordPress website or blog. Many themes allow you to display your pages as menus across the top of the page. You can also create a quick-reference list of the static pages on your blog using the pages widget. You can even choose to leave some pages out of the list. This short tutorial shows you how..
