'''Tips'''[[br]]
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 insure that the link for your home page shows up correctly in both your breadcrumbs and your main navigation. The latter makes sure that when someone visits your site the page they see is that one. '''Important Note:''' Home pages DO NOT have children pages. Your home page is just another top-level page.
