Creating Pages

Do not duplicate content. It's worth taking a few minutes to look around in other areas to make sure you are not duplicating information. Create a page in the appropriate subdirectory, then link to it from multiple places.
Groups of pages belong in a subdirectory.
Web pages should be no longer than two screens of content. If your pages are longer than this, we recommend breaking up the content into separate pages. If necessary, create a new directory for the pages to reside in.
Each subdirectory must have a section path file (create first) and an index.html file. When the section path is created, you will need to check it out and publish it.
If you find it necessary to edit the section path after it's created, do not delete any special characters that may appear in the file. They are necessary for the section path to appear appropriately.
Link to a directory, not an index file. In other words, don't include index.html at the end of a path reference (for example, /comp/, not /comp/index.html).
