### Add your own content
To add pages to your site, you can either write a markdown file (`.md`) or you can write an HTML file directly. It is much easier to write mardown than HTML, so I suggest you do that (use the tutorial above if you need to learn markdown). You can look at some files on this site to get an idea of how to write markdown. To look at existing files, click on any file that ends in `.md`, for example [`aboutme.md`](./aboutme.md). On the next page you can see some nicely formatted text (there is a word in bold, a link, bullet points), and if you click on the pencil icon to edit the file, you will see the markdown that generated the pretty text. Very easy!
In contrast, look at [`index.html`](./index.html). That's how your write HTML - not as pretty. So stick with markdown if you don't know HTML.
Any file that you add inside the [`_posts`](./_posts) directory will be treated as a blog entry. You can look at the existing files there to get an idea of how to write blog posts.
Any file that you add inside the [`_posts`](./_posts) directory will be treated as a blog entry. You can look at the existing files there to get an idea of how to write blog posts. After you successfully add your own post, you can delete the existing files [`_posts`](./_posts), as those are just demo posts to help you learn.
As mentioned previously, you can use [prose.io](http://prose.io/) to add or edit files instead of doing it directly on GitHub, it can be a little easier that way.
