CodingForums.com - Resolved Wordpress Help - Creating simple static page w/o blog posts

Hey guys, so im fairly new to wordpress, im trying to create my html website to a wordpress theme.

For this page, i just need to have static text, like you can see.
but i am getting errors, and now my footer isnt showing up..

Here is the link to the page

http://www.aaron-armstrong.com/hivedirect/about

Here is what is in my index

Code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sbdaytrips.php'); ?>

//begin loop

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

What is wrong with this content here, i found it on a forum,
and what does this code do...<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sbdaytrips.php'); ?>

Thanks in advance.
