Adding columns to an existing list on Sharepoint 2010 intranet

Question

I am trying to add two new columns to an existing list on an intranet page (on SharePoint 2010).

I've used the guidance here and seem to be able to only get so far.

I've found the list I want to add the columns to and seem to have added them. But the new columns only seem viewable under "View All Site Content. When I go back to the page where the list is on the intranet I can't see the 2 new columns I've added.

I can't understand what I'm doing wrong - the only thing that doesn't look right is that the new column titles (under View All Site Content) are in red and the old columns (visible on the intranet page) are in black.

Any help or advice appreciated!

Thanks
