New to Hugo, adding new content to existing theme #908

Open SamKrasnoff opened 5 months ago

SamKrasnoff commented 5 months ago

Hello all,

I'm new to using hugo, but I've been very impressed by this theme and the product as a whole. However, I'm trying to add an about/projects page, but I'm not sure where/how to. I've tried creating HTML files and using the hugo new command, but they still do not appear. Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

Hey!

So, you only need to create an HTML when you need a new layout/template for a new kind of content (in Hugo it is called Archetype). Hugo Coder has two kinds of content currently: pages and posts. Basically, the difference between these two are that posts can be configured with tags, categories and series, and display comments. Pages are just crude pages.

To create a about page or a project page you just need to cerate a markdown file inside the content folder. See this example of my about page here (it is in Portuguese).
