Where did the page.php file come from? It's not in the downloads and was not created in the videos?

Thanks mate! That really helped :)

What downloads are you referring too? When you downloaded Wordpress or the ones from treehouse? page.php is a standard default file for all themes, it is the template use to displaying all pages in Wordpress.
