Tips
The tips will cover general information to make your life easier when creating pages and using Slate.
When creating your home page make sure you do two things:
1. Name it Home
2. Make sure it’s set as the default page for your site.
The former will ensure that the link for your home page shows up correctly in both your breadcrumbs and your main navigation. The latter makes sure that the page appears when visitors come to your site. Important Note: Home pages DO NOT have child pages. Your home page is just another top-level page.
