We have included a sample cover image.

2. Click the Replace button and select an image from your media library or upload an image. A landscape image will work better.

The Contact Us page is a basic page with a way for people to contact you. Update the content to match your contact information. You can also add a contact form using the optional Formidable Forms plugin or even a Google Form. This can be a great way to hide your email so you don’t get spammed.

News (Both)

The News page is a special page that is set up to display your latest Posts. The content is displayed dynamically based on any content you have created in Posts.

What are Posts?

Posts are a separate content type. Posts are used for things like news, articles, or other timely content. They are generally displayed in reverse chronological order. You can use Categories and Tags to organize the content. Learn more about Posts and Pages.

Creating Posts is similar to pages. To create a new Post, simply choose Post from the New > Post menu at the top or from Posts > Add New in the Dashboard.

As you create and publish new Posts, they will appear on your News page.
