ok. now who has the url to the pithy heres-why-you-really-want-the-command-line.  

It distills to something about actually knowing what you’re doing.

Good tip; I can now see the database I created. Thanks.

PostgreSQL 9.5 (localhost) - but there's a red X over it.

That means you are not connected to the Server. Right click on the entry and select Connect. It will probably ask for a password, which should be the database password you created when you did the install.

    I would spend some time here:

    http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.20/index.html

    before going much further, just to get the gist of pgAdmin.

    In the meantime, you have to connect to the Server before you can
    create anything on it. Is there a entry under Servers?

             normally, your application programs do the data filling
        part, manual
             data entry direct via sql is fairly uncommon.

             anyways, the GUI is pgAdmin, and you can create a database by
             opening the server, and selecting 'new database...', give it an
             owner, etc.   then open that database, find hte Public schema
             therewithin, and create your table(s) in that schema...
