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:

    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...
