+ +``` + +#### Live Reload + +Note: If you're running the server with the `--watch` option, you'll see different content in the file: + +``` +$ cat public/index.html + + + +hugo says hello!
+ + +``` + +When you use `--watch`, the Live Reload script is added by Hugo. Look for live reload in the documentation to see what it does and how to disable it. + +### Build a "Dynamic" Home Page + +"Dynamic home page?" Hugo's a static web site generator, so this seems an odd thing to say. I mean let's have the home page automatically reflect the content in the site every time Hugo builds it. We'll use iteration in the template to do that. + +#### Create New Posts + +Now that we have the home page generating static content, let's add some content to the site. We'll display these posts as a list on the home page and on their own page, too. + +Hugo has a command to generate a skeleton post, just like it does for sites and themes. + +``` +$ hugo --verbose new post/first.md +INFO: 2014/09/29 Using config file: /Users/quoha/Sites/zafta/config.toml +INFO: 2014/09/29 attempting to create post/first.md of post +INFO: 2014/09/29 curpath: /Users/quoha/Sites/zafta/themes/zafta/archetypes/default.md +ERROR: 2014/09/29 Unable to Castmy first post
+ + + + +$ cat public/post/second/index.html + + + +my second post
+ + + +$ +``` + +Notice that the posts now have content. You can go to localhost:1313/post/first to verify. + +### Linking to Content + +The posts are on the home page. Let's add a link from there to the post. Since this is the home page, we'll update its template. + +``` +$ vi themes/zafta/layouts/index.html + + + + {{ range first 10 .Data.Pages }} +
