How to get a new page

This step is how to add a new post within hugo. It will let us actually start adding some content to the site that we are building.

1. Open a window command prompt
2. In the command prompt type:
   cd c:/hugo/sites/example.com
   This will change the current directory to c:\hugo\sites\example.com. This is the location that we set up earlier to contain the details of the site that we are creating.
3. In the command prompt type:
   hugo new posts/my-first-post.md
   This will actually create the post, and we can then edit and view it.
4. In the command prompt type:
   hugo server -D
   This will start the Hugo server, and run our site. The -D flag is used to also display and draft pages that we are currently working on. This command will just continue to run in the background.
5. Open your browser, and navigate to http://localhost:1313/posts/my-first-post.
   You should see an new page has been created
6. In a text editor (e.g. Notepad++, or Visual Studio Code) open the file at c:/hugo/sites/example.com/posts/my-first-post.md. You can changes in here after the second ‘—’
7. Return to your browser, and you should see the changes being reflected once the file has been saved.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you are happy with the content of the page.
