When I first set up TysTips.com I intended it to be a place for Blog tips , and blog tips only. However, after a few months I decided that it would be nice to blog about some of my personal projects for documentation purposes. For simplicity I wanted to include those blog posts in this Blog, but since they strayed from the theme of the Blog, I wanted them on their own separate Page called “Projects”.

You can see here that originally TysTips.com had two Tabs or Pages in the top Nav bar. “Home” and “Contact”. I wanted to add a third page with the title “Projects”.

Adding a new Page Tab titled “Projects” turned out to be simple. However, posting to “Projects” was a little more difficult and will be covered in another post (here). For now, here are the steps I used to add a new page to my wordpress blog

.

  1. Login to your blog and navigate to Write > Page and give your new page a short title (keep it short since it will be your new nav tab). I’m calling my new page “Projects”. Click “Publish”.Step_1.JPG
  2. You should now see your new Nav Tab that points to your new page.Step_2.JPG

It’s literally that simple to add a new page to your Wordpress 2.5.1 blog. In the next 2 posts I’ll explain how to add posts to your new Page (here) and how to prevent those posts from also showing up on your home page (here).
