I am keen to change individual Page look if not this way how else?

I'm with Carla........ coding sends me into a fit of hives! :)

If you try it, Shawn, let us know how it turns out. When I personally see "some coding," my brain goes tilt and then screams. . . . Nooooooooooooo!!! LOL

Funny Carla! It's not that bad once you understand it. :))

Exactly how I feel! However maybe once one "gets into the psyche of the machine?" (I was once taught most of I what know about Dos, in an afternoon by a 14yr old, years back, and I still use it sometimes today. Guess with all this "mousing around" we get lazy:)

Excellent modifier, Kim. . . . once you understand it I don't so I leave my hands in my lap unless I have someone talking me through it. And then I still shake a bit. LOL

Lol!

My ex husband was an IBM programmer, I used to watch him work with code all the time. Of course that was a bit different, the old DOS.
I have a logical mind, I guess that is why it makes sense. :))

Carson has just brought me down to Earth! (I think:) with:

"To make your pages look unique, you do so by writing unique content, using unique headlines, using unique images, and writing naturally. Templated content is not what readers want to see. They want variety, vs a templated review."
Carson

He's probably right, otherwise an ignoramus like me will spent precious time blundering around with technical stuff, instead of content!

Yes, he IS right, Shawn! It's the content! That's what I'll be working on today.

Yes you can add page templates but this will involve some Coding) http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates#Custom_Page_Template

"Some coding"....Ha,ha..see what you mean! (Thanks Maksim, have marked the file and hopefully one day;) Should I create Child Theme first?

Yes I would create child theme first and would do all this on Locally installed WP or on Test site.

I would personally would not use @import is CSS as some people do but it is just me. If you interested you can check some info on this here (http://gtmetrix.com/avoid-css-import.html)
PS. I plan to create My Own Version of Child Theme creation training by Sunday.

Any way there is some instructions which make this task look really simple:
http://www.blogmarketingacademy.com/how-to-custom-page-template-wordpress/

Thanks again Maksim and others! (Wow WA should actually be called WI - "Wealthy Information!") Just one last 'real beginner' question. Where/how to I find my actual website Folder Tree? ftp? I think I will work it out, but while you still here.....? (Looking forward to your child theme training)

Did you had a chance to try setup new page template?

If not and you still looking for help you can tell Theme name and what exactly you want to have, I can have some time over weekend to play around.

Thing is I not sure yet what I want and may to go along with Carson and concentrate on content for now. (He's probably used to "wannabe geeks" like me getting stuck in the technical swamp when they should have been doing something more appropriate to their ability!:)
Thanks for offer of help. Maybe later will take you up on it.

Are page templates theme dependent or can one add more?

I did a google for my website and see it only comes up with prefixes such as domain-kb.com/ which then takes it to some strange site with a whole lot of vague info. What i

You should check your DNS transfer to make sure you did it correctly. If your provider if Name cheap than go there or to whoever you registered with.

Thanks. I did go to Namecheap and what support I got on online chat was inconclusive (not sure if it was a bot!) The transfer went through fine. People can access my site with no problem and I can access from a document etc . just that in Google it comes up with the prefix domain-kb.com/ which seems to be some registration check site. Maybe I should check with Google. I am sure it will get sorted eventually.

I have found only way to get main menu items with submenu pages, is to make tthe main page as parent to the submenu pages. However on clicking the main menu page, I don't want i

Thanks for comments and help guys...To answer my own question I've just worked it out (Mr Wailor you come first for getting close!) In more detail: I went to Appearances>Menu>Edit Menus>Links (press drop down arrow) Add # in Url and Add the name label in Link text. Certainly an ongoing learning curve this!

I think I know what you are talking about with submenu's, so I'll explain how I do it. I basically do out the category pages for my menu items with some extra information. For example, if I was doing something like video games, maybe I would have a setup like this:

Consoles
--Sony
-----Playstation 4

These would all be pages, but since consoles is vague, and Playstation 4 is very specific, I can talk about the in between for the Sony page.

If you link your site I'll hop on over to your site and take a look around and see if I can better explain by using your specific examples :) Hope this was helpful :D

You should add the Main Menu page as a link. Put the Link Texgt as the name and the URL as #. Then it will work.

In one of Jay's videos he mentioned using static landing page. Is this O.K. and what advantages? (I see most use Blog pages as landing page) I am thinking of nice static landing

Static page or post doesn't make a different. It is what you have on it that counts. Focus on building content for your visitors.

Can landing page be a static page and what advantages?
