+## Manage node index pages
+
+The node index pages (e.g. `/post/`) are the special pages which list all of your content. They can exist for blog posts, publications, and talks. The homepage widgets will automatically link to the node index pages when you have more items of content than can be displayed in the widget. Therefore, if you don't have much content, you may not see the automatic links yet - but you can also manually link to them using a normal Markdown formatted link in your content.
+
+You can edit the title and add your own content, such as an introduction, by creating and editing the following content files for the node indexes:
+
+    hugo new post/_index.md
+    hugo new publication/_index.md
+    hugo new talk/_index.md
+    
+Then remove all parameters except for `title`, `math`, `highlight`, and `date`. Edit the `title` parameter as desired and add any content after the `+++` preamble/frontmatter ends. For example, you should have something similar to:
+
+```toml
++++
+title = "List of my posts"
+date = "2017-01-01T00:00:00Z"
+math = false
+highlight = false
++++
+
+Below is an automatically generated list of all my blog posts!

 ## Removing content
 
 Generally, to remove content, simply delete the relevant file from your `content/post`, `content/publication`, `content/project`, or `content/talk` folder.
