WordPress is able to automatically generate a list of Pages on your site, for example within the sidebar, using a Template Tag called wp_list_pages(). See the wp_list_pages page for information on how to do the following:
- Sort the list of Pages (to fully customize the order in which the Pages are listed, you might find the “Page Order” section on the Write > Page administration panel useful),
- exclude (or ‘hide’) a Page from the list,
- Control which Pages are displayed (i.e., all Pages or just certain SubPages), and
- Control how deep into your Page hierarchy the list goes.
Naturally, you can also link to Pages manually with an HTML link. For example, if you want your Copyright Page listed in your footer, that link might read as below:
If you do not have Permalinks set up
<a title="Copyright information" href="wordpress/?page_id=14">Copyright 1996-2006</a>
If you do have Permalinks set up
<a title="Copyright information" href="wordpress/copyright/">Copyright 1996-2006</a>
Note: Your .htaccess file must be writeable for Page Permalinks to work, otherwise you must update your .htaccess file every time you create a Page.
