NOTE: If you have watched Part 1, you can skip the first five minutes of this tutorial. Just click on and drag the time slide bar to the 5 minute mark. This Beginner-level WordPress tutorial is a follow-up to “WordPress Tutorial – Make a Static Page Your Home/Front Page”. It reviews the method of making a specific page your home page in WordPress, and it shows how to remove the link to that page from the main navigation. This is something you may need to do if the WordPress theme has a default “Home” button or link in the main navigation. Note that there is a Part 3 of this tutorial that shows another way to solve the problem of hiding the link the static page you use as your home page: “WordPress Tutorial – Make Static Page Your Home Page – Part 3”. Not all WordPress themes have this feature of a default home page link in the navigation, but several of the WordPress themes offered on wordpress.com do. This tutorial also talks about the fact that some themes have navigation in the sidebar that shows links to subpages and “subsub” pages – ie “child” pages that have other pages as “parents”. There is a separate mcbuzzvideo tutorial that shows how to create “child” or sub-pages in WordPress if you would like to learn more.
www.expand2web.com – This video shows you how to use the new menu system that is built into WordPress 3.0. You can use the new menu support to omit pages from your navigation, reorder your navigation menu, apply custom labels, and even add custom links to pages off of your website. I use the SmallBiz WordPress theme in this video but it could be any WordPress Theme that supports the new nav menus in WordPress 3.0.
In this video, we discuss how to create a theme options page in the admin menu using your theme’s functions.php file, and discuss how WordPress “options” work. This can let you make a good user interface should you distribute your theme to others. Files Available In Part 8b

I have an existing website and I’ve successfully managed to install wordpress into the website but it has made itself into a separate page such as domainsite.net/wordpress. And that’s fine and all but unfortunately the blog page doesn’t share the same layout as the rest of the site. So what I’m wondering is how I get my site layout onto my wordpress blog so it matches. Would I have to make the current site layout into a wordpress theme? And if so, how would I do that? Thanks.
