Ive successfully created my first wp-theme but I’m having a little problem, I’m sure its lack of experience.
Heres my problem;
I created my theme based on my index.html in dreamweaver. Now I’m trying to add a new page (About) but the thing is that the content layout of my index.html and my about.html are not the same.
