2. Click **Content Tree** in the upper left corner.
3. Click **Edit**.
4. Click the **chevron** to the right of the **Home** menu item, then select **Add Page**.

**Note**

If you do not see the **Author** and **Publish Date** fields at first, click **Publish** on the page, then edit the page properties and scroll down to view and edit these fields. You can add multiple authors to the author field, separated by commas. There is no way to manage a list of authors to select from in this field out-of-the-box, so you would need a customization, for example create a **System List** called "Blog Authors" in the Admin Console, then call this list through an extension in the **Author** field of a News Page in the CMS.
