Wordpress as a CMS, calling content Issue

So I am working on my first wordpress site...

I am having a go at converting http://www.benjaminpotter.org/fleet/ to wordpress > http://www.benjaminpotter.org/test/

So there are already a few issues, but one of the things is that I am wanting to call content into the "about us" section on the index page via wordpress to act as a CMS.

This is an image of the back end:

enter image description here

nevertheless it ends up with no content in that section:

enter image description here

this is most likely because I need to put in a bit of code into the page of the website.

This is the current code for that page, and I have commented where I want to call the content mannaged bit... thanks for the help!

<? /* Template Name: Home Page
*/ ?>


<?php get_header(); ?> 





  <div id="tagline"></div>

    <div id="sliderbox">

        <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/index/slider/slider_1.jpg" width="1000" height="466" alt="Don't settle for less" />

i believe you need to wrap you call to the_content() in the Wordpress loop 

<?php
if ( have_posts() ) {
    while ( have_posts() ) {
        the_content();
    } // end while
} // end if
?>

this is a very basic example if you make other calls later you will need to reset the query call after this one.

<?php echo get_content(); ?>

Or

<?php
global $post;
echo $post->post_content;
?>
