You can always add new content easily, as long as it can be done by embedding the content with HTML. Just create a new block on the page in question, and add the needed code (if you need a better explanation, or a certain example, ask).

You can add new pages easily by navigating to administration, builders, pages blocks, where there will be a link to create a new page. Enter your desired name for the page, add create a column, add some blocks and content, and you're page will be automatically created.

I hope this helps.

I've been able to add the page/block. Where do you go to add the code?

Click the block to display the editing screen, where there will be an area to enter content in the form of HTML code. You'll have to find the widgets yourself, and add their embed code.

I guess I should edit that last post. I can add a page but not a block. I hope I am not sounding like a complete idiot.

After creating the page, you will need to add a column to that page, which will contain the blocks. There's a button to add columns at the top of the page, next to the other options for the page. Once a column has been added, you can drag the HTML_Block block item into the column (this may take some time, as it doesn't always like to go in on the first try). Once done, follow my instructions above.

From the page selection menu, select homepage and add a new block to a column. There, you can simply repeat the steps outlined above.
