index.html

[sasquatch]

hey,
i'm pretty new at this. i'm trying to set my blog up but i find it frustrating that i can't edit it as the html. i mean i want to be able to add sections on my own, on the blog page but i don't understand and know if it's possible. for example, how do i manually add a <div> let's say on the blog...i wish i can edit the source code of the blog, but there is no index.html in wp-content folders.

the 'title' that you enter from within the wordpress dashboard automatically links to the blog's link http://example.com/blog, but what if i want to add a separate section with links?

please help
sasq

If you are using wordpress, you add additional pages under the "pages" category. I advise you don't edit the files themselves until you become a wordpress pro... it is designed to be managed/modified through the wp-admin interface.

the thing is, pages link to within the blog. so if i make a page called 'home', it only lets me have a link like: http://example.com/blog/?page_id=109

it doesn't allow me to make it into something like: www.google.com

Let me Clear you, wordpress is a CMS which does not generate physical pages ,but it creates them using database.

Now when you create a page like

http://example.com/blog/?page_id=109

This is Non-SEF version of URL

To make it something like

http://example.com/blog/anypage.html

You need to add up Plugins in Wordpress.

One i can recommend is "ALL IN ONE SEO"

Going to give you Google Friendly URLS.

You can also Hire A pro, as there are lots of things to be done with wordpress.(ie themes, sidebars,plugins,widgets and many more)

Although wordpress is among the best CMS available (Joomla is Good Indeed)
