The following explains how to add content to your hugo site. Introduction ships with an fully configured example site. For a quick preview just go into `exampleSite/` and run `hugo --themesDir ../..`. If you have configuration problems, you might want to check out how its done in `exampleSite/`.
```
cd exampleSite/
hugo serve --themesDir ../..
```

### Home page
Content for the home page lives under `content/home/`. Create `index.md` (`hugo new home/index.md`) and set a *title*. The content of this file will be shown as a tag line. You might want to set [*headless*](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/#headless-bundle) to `true`. You may add more files to the home section. They show up automaticity on the home page and can be ordered via *weight*. You can set *image* for a page to show an image on the left side. The image has to be placed inside `content/home`.
Then visit `http://localhost:1313/` in your browser to view the example site.


# Add content

The following explains how to add content to your Hugo site. You can find sample content in the `exampleSite/` folder.

## Introduction section

Create `index.md`:

```
hugo new home/index.md
```

The `title` frontmatter will be the first large heading.

The content of `index.md` will be shown as a subtitle line.

You might want to set `headless` to `true` in the frontmatter. See [headless bundles](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/#headless-bundle) for more information.

## Home page

Content for the home page lives under `content/home/`. You may add as many files as you want to in markdown format.

Each markdown file will show as a section on the home page and can be ordered by the `weight` value in the file's frontmatter. You can set `image` to show an image on the left side of the section. The image file must be in the `content/home/` folder.

You may add a contact section by creating
`contact.md` (`hugo new home/contact.md`). This will allways be shown last on the home page.
`contact.md`:

```
hugo new home/contact.md
```

This will always be shown as the last section on the home page.

## Projects section

Introduction provides an easy way to showcase your projects. Each project can even have its own gallery, shown as an image carousel.

Start by creating an index file for the projects section:

### Projects section
Introduction provides an easy way to your projects. You can even add a gallery to your projects. Start by creating an index file (`hugo new projects/_index.md`), which you needs a *title*. You can also add some text.
```
hugo new projects/_index.md
```

Add a `title` and some optional content to the file.

To create a project, run:

```
hugo new projects/YourProjectName/index.md
```

The frontmatter of your new file contains some comments to help your configure your project.

You can set `external_link` to make the project link to another website.

Add images to your project by placing image files in the `YourProjectName/` folder. If you add more then one photo, they will display as a carousel gallery. Images will be ordered by filename. The first image will be shown as the project preview image. You can change the order of your images by adding a `weight` to that resource's parameters:

Now you are ready to add some projects. Jet again, create an index file (`hugo new creating/YourProjectName/index.md`). You can add *external_link* to create a link to a website. Or add images to your project by placing them in the same folder as the index file you just created. If you add more then one photo, a gallery will be created. Images are ordered by there filename. The first image will be used as a project preview image. If you want to change the order of your image, you can do this by adding *weight* to some image via font matter in your index file:
```
resources:
- src: NameOfYourImage.jpg
params:
weight: -100
```
The projects themself can also be ordered by *weight*.

### Blog section
Creating a blog section is quite simple with Introduction. Just add an index file for the section (`hugo new blog/_index.md`). Then you can create as many blog entry as you like via (`hugo new blog/YourEntryTitle.md`). They will also automaticity appear on the home page.
