Luddite – wishes advice – re: Hierarchical – based website

    INTRO: I have an existing Website (not blog): https://sites.google.com/site/amensproject/ – which I am attempting to convert to WordPress – for several reasons.

    The website – is largely hierarchical – largest example:

    Local Organizations
    US
    (table) of 50 states + DC – with 51 files

    with fairly brief files – linking to the sub-areas and sub-sub-areas.

    The lowest level files mostly contain hyperlinks – for other websites – with brief explanations of the sites

    PROBLEMS:

    1. I am an aging Luddite – who struggles – with creating simple structures I can work with – HTML- and terms like “meta” etc. are totally foreign to me – I learn slowly,

    2. I want to convert my Structure – as simply as possible – to WordPress – advice sought on themes – that can create a relatively simple – Single Column site – with links to the Sub-Areas with limited text on the Higher Level pages

    3. I need to copy my files from Google Sites to – WordPress – any advice avoiding problems here.

    4. Any other advice – more than welcome – specific areas to look in – I’m lost trying to find advice for example – about creating hierarchical pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi. WordPress.COM prepared this guide to creating a website (with pages as opposed to posts). Perhaps will that help?

    And don’t worry about not knowing HTML: there is a visual editor.

    And you cannot edit Meta tags here anyway, so one less thing to worry about :-)
