Creating a new page

The web site uses Clean URLs for pages, so the (1) step is to create folder with the name of the new page and create file with index.textile name. The (2) next step is to add a special header in the beginning of the file and to replace <page name> with the page name (spaces are allowed):

---
layout: page
title: <page name>
---

The (3) step is to writing content in Textile, you can use Textile live web editor to see the result immediately. Once you finished (4) commit the folder and the file in the repository, they will accessible in a few seconds.

Note: a slash (/) is requared at the end and the beginning of the path.
