Continue from the first step, this one will show some custom settings on your website, which includes adding new pages with images, and menu modification.

Let's go:

Add a new page - Open your terminal, create a directory "pages" under "content", and create a Markdown file yourpage.md.

$ cd ~/Desktop/yoursitename/content  
$ mkdir pages  
$ touch pages/yourpage.md  

Edit the new page - Open your code editor, and modify the page as you like. Metadata syntax for Markdown posts should follow the pattern below. More metadata description can be found here

Title: About me

Category: About  
Tags: pages  
Slug: about-me  
Authors: Jolene Yu  
Summary: Information about me  

This is the page of my super blog post.  

Add a cover to your page - Create a directory "images" under "content", and put the image you are happy to use in that directory. You can add a line to yourpage.md, starting with an exclamation mark (!), followed by alt text in brackets, and the path or URL to the image asset in parentheses. You can optionally add a title after the URL in the parentheses.

![image info](./images/name.jpg "title")

But the image won't automatically zoom in & out when the page size changes. Luckily, you could just use some HTML in your Markdown, so I add the line below.

<img alt="image info" src="./images/name.jpg" data-action="zoom" width="70%">

Or you could use a custom CSS file to do the same, but it involves making modification to the "themes" directory which I try to aviod. You could explore more here

Clean the menu links - Use VS code global search with the short cut "cmd+shift+f" to locate the menu links setting. It's in the LINKS section of pelicanconf.py, you can modify the links where to redirect or simply remove them. I commented them out since I might use them later on.

Lessons-Learned:

1. I haven't used markdown, html or css before. It took me a while to figure out how markdown works. Follow the official instruction first, and if it's not working, break down the error and locate the real issue.

2. Pages or Articles are edited in a similar way. I created my blogs in a seperate directory "/content/articles". Here is a Markdown format documentation for you to read if you need to modify pages or articles later: Markdown
