 Same can be done for the 'News' button, just name it 'news' and place it
 inside the `./sites/???/news/` directory with the file format of your choosing.
 
+# Sub-pages
+
+Pages can have sub-pages. Simply have another page-styled directory within
+a page directory. For example, `./sites/???/pages_left/games/files/` containing both
+a `title` and a `content.md` file.
+
+# Metadata within pages
+
+You can use metadata within Markdown pages. If your `content.md` has a `content.yaml` file
+alongside it, it will be used within the page accordingly. Please see this page for detailed
