Some basic questions regarding menu,links,blogs in WP

CMS & WordPress
1

hi

have some beginner questions regarding menus/links.

question 1

my current code for the top nav:

<?php wp_nav_menu(array('menu_id' => 'primary'))?>

Thats all i got, now i want to add fontello icons next to every pagelink, how do I do this? When creating a static site this could look like this: <a href="#><i class=“icon-home”></i>Home</a> … but how can i do this in WP when all i see is the php above?

(im a noob to WP)

question 2

So i got an image on my site, that i want to make a link of. But the static <a href=“imgdir”><img></a> wont work. So the question is… how do i link between pages?

question 3

I have made a template file named news.php with template name “blog”, and I have added this code:

				<?php while(have_posts()): the_post()?>

					<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink()?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h2>

					<?php the_content();?>

				<?php endwhile;?>

The problem is that nothing is shown when i create a new page and use the blog template. The exact same code works fine if i put it on index.php.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to accomplish with your news.php file. Here’s how file naming works in wordpress:
