=Adding Pages=

The rake file that comes with Octopress contains a set of rake commands that you can issue. One of these is the new page command.

<pre>
bundle exec rake new_page['about']
</pre>

This will create a Markdown file and tell you the name of the file. You can then edit the page with Markdown the same way you edit blog posts.

=Adding Navigation Buttons=

To add buttons to the navigation bar, you can edit the file:

<pre>
source/_includes/custom/navigation.html
</pre>

and add your button there.

=Adding Side Panels=

If you want to add side panels to your blog page, you can create an HTML file like this:

<pre>
source/_includes/custom/asides/example.html
</pre>

Then you can edit your <code>_yconfig.yml</code>, and it will be included on the side panel for all pages by adding the following text:

<pre>
default_asides:
- custom/asides/example.html
</pre>
