 * Is there a way to use Visual Studio Code editor to work with the WordPress pages
   and then upload them to the WordPress folder?
 * How do you link all of your CSS and Javascript to each page? Where do they go?

 * No, WordPress doesn’t create **_static_** files. WordPress is a **_dynamic_**
   database-driven content management system, and the pages on the site are stored
   in the WordPress database.
 * See Static vs Dynamic sites: [https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-static-and-dynamic-web-pages/](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-static-and-dynamic-web-pages/)
 * You can, however, use Visual Studio Code (or any other text editor) to create/
   edit the theme files. The theme’s PHP, CSS and JavaScript files control the overall
   layout and style of the pages… but the actual content on the pages are fetched
   from the database **_dynamically_** when the page is requested. See: [What is a WordPress theme?](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/what-is-a-theme/)
