Above is a "horizontal line" (in 'basic' on the right hand side)
To add a block of text like this, just drag the 'text' widget (under 'basic' on the right) to somewhere below your page title and above the "yola" brand thing at the bottom. You can change the text with the toolbar below above like you do when using Word.

There are a few other pages on this website, check them out by clicking on the links above. The standard website you started with will have most of these, just use the 'Page' menus above to add new pages if you want more!
