Writing Posts
Posts that should show up in the home page must be inside contents/post. Or you can change this behavior by tweaking themes/basics/layouts/_default/list.html.
You should also add an about page at contents/about.md.
Your directory should look something like this:
├── archetypes
│ └── default.md
├── config.toml
├── content
│ ├── about.md
│ └── post
│ ├── my-first-post.md
│ └── my-second-post.md
├── data
├── layouts
├── static
│ └── images
└── themes
└── basics
