 * Sorry if Ive got this aroud my neck. Ive been using Umbraco where adding an heading,
   text field or a photo by placing a line of code in the layout is easy. Can I 
   do this in my page ie insert headings and text into multipal columns and so on.
   Is there ref I can use to configure and copy in?

 * While I’m not familiar with Umbraco, I can say that doing the same with WordPress
   is still quite simple, though admittedly I’m kinda biast.
 * Changing the layout of the page ( header position, content position, and featured
   image position ) is done at the template level in the code.
 * Templates in WordPress are located ( typically ) at `wp-content/themes/<your-
   theme-here>` these templates follow the [template hierarchy](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/).
 * By default WordPress doesn’t really provide any sort of table creator. However,
   in the spirit of WordPress – there’s a plugin for that: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/table-maker/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/table-maker/)
 * Hope that helps – good luck!

 * Thanks Jerry
 * Im trying to build a site CMS using WP, hacking the templates and CSS around.
   If want to have 3 columns each with a photograph in and text below, can you point
   me to the right code for this in the codex. I did this years ago but can’t remember
   how.

 * It’s all done within the theme, there are so many theme files I can’t just say“
   do it here”. Review the template hierarchy and that will tell you what file can
   load load what page.
 * For example if you created a page named “my-awesome-page” – if your theme has
   a “page-my-awesome-page.php” file you would edit that, if not it falls back to
   page.php, etc…
 * It’s entirely dependent on your theme, there is no one global answer.
