How to create custom page with theme layout

[orphaze]

I would like to create a page on my coppermine gallery called "Gear" where I can do a quick write up on what cameras I'm shooting with and such. How would I go about creating a php page that includes my current layout/theme and my html code for the write up? I have no custom headers or footers and I know how to add a custom nav link and all that good stuff, I'm just hung up on how to create the page itself.

I spent a bit of time hacking the faq.php page to accomplish this but it seemed sloppy and I really didn't understand what I was doing. I imagine there is a simple and elegant way to do this with a few lines of code (We newbies always say stuff like that don't we, but I really think it's true this time!) - I just need one of the many smart people around here to point me in the right direction ;-) Thanks!

Code Select Expand

<?php 
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');
pageheader('Gear');
?>

quick write up on what cameras I'm shooting with and such

<?php
pagefooter(); 
?>
