Getting your site ready for production

1. Open up your project in terminal

Adding Google Analytics

1. Change trackingID in _confi.yml and replace UA-XXXXXXXXX-Y
2. Once you build your site with the environment flag set to production, your site will start tracking visits. See "Getting your site ready for production" above for environment details

1. Create a new directory inside _pages. Lets call it contact
2. Create a new file inside your new directory called index.html
3. Copy the YAML front matter below into your new file. Reload your page and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:4000/contact/ to see your new page in action
4. Add in your html below the front matter
