Creating a new page for your website is a breeze. Simply craft a new .md file. When it's time to publish, slot it into the pages folder, or nest it within a subfolder if you prefer. Access your new page via <domain name>/<folder>/<file name>. Typically, pages reside in the root Pages folder, but the choice is yours.
Crafting a post follows the same straightforward process as creating a page. The only distinction is that posts are housed in the pages/posts subfolder.
Each page requires specific metadata:
<!-- pagetitle: -->
<!-- pagelayout: -->
<!-- pagedate: -->
<!-- pageimage: -->
<!-- pageexcerpt: -->
<!-- pagekeywords: -->
<!-- pageauthor: -->
<!-- pagetype: -->- pagetitle: The page title serves as the main header and browser tab title.
- pagelayout: Determines the theme layout applied. Usually, this defaults to 'page,' but your theme may offer alternative layouts.
- pagedate: Indicates the publication date, typically your own, although the system can use the file's timestamp if left blank.
- pageimage: Associates an image with the page, crucial for search engine visibility and, if applicable, as a thumbnail in layouts. Ensure the image path matches the page type (
pages/imagesfor pages,pages/posts/imagesfor posts). - pageexcerpt: Provides a concise 120-character summary, serving as a description or tagline.
- pagekeywords: Comprise essential terms for search engine optimization.
- pageauthor: Identifies the author for posts, appearing beneath the title.
- pagetype: Categorizes the page for search engines. Here are the possible catigorizations:
website, article, blog, profile, video, music, book, product.
