```
Start Hugo's development server to view the site.
```text
hugo server
```
Press `Ctrl + C` to stop Hugo's development server.
## Add content
Add a new page to your site.
```text
hugo new posts/my-first-post.md
```
Hugo created the file in the `content/posts` directory. Open the file with your editor.
```text
---
title: "My First Post"
date: 2022-11-20T09:03:20-08:00
draft: true
---
```
Notice the `draft` value in the [front matter] is `true`. By default, Hugo does not publish draft content when you build the site. Learn more about [draft, future, and expired content].
Add some [markdown] to the body of the post, but do not change the `draft` value.
[markdown]: https://commonmark.org/help/
```text
---
title: "My First Post"
date: 2022-11-20T09:03:20-08:00
draft: true
---
## Introduction
This is **bold** text, and this is *emphasized* text.
Visit the [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) website!
```
Save the file, then start Hugos development server to view the site. You can run either of the following commands to include draft content.
```text
hugo server --buildDrafts
hugo server -D
```
View your site at the URL displayed in your terminal. Keep the development server running as you continue to add and change content.

Hugo's rendering engine conforms to the CommonMark [specification] for markdown. The CommonMark organization provides a useful [live testing tool] powered by the reference implementation.

## Configure the site
With your editor, open the [site configuration] file (`config.toml`) in the root of your project.
```text
baseURL = 'http://example.org/'
languageCode = 'en-us'
title = 'My New Hugo Site'
theme = 'ananke'
```
Make the following changes:
1. Set the `baseURL` for your production site. This value must begin with the protocol and end with a slash, as shown above.
2. Set the `languageCode` to your language and region.
3. Set the `title` for your production site.
Start Hugo's development server to see your changes, remembering to include draft content.
```text
hugo server -D
```

Most theme authors provide configuration guidelines and options. Make sure to visit your theme's repository or documentation site for details.
[The New Dynamic], authors of the Ananke theme, provide [documentation] for configuration and usage. They also provide a [demonstration site].

## Publish the site
In this step you will _publish_ your site, but you will not _deploy_ it.
When you _publish_ your site, Hugo creates the entire static site in the `public` directory in the root of your project. This includes the HTML files, and assets such as images, CSS files, and JavaScript files.
When you publish your site, you typically do _not_ want to include [draft, future, or expired content]. The command is simple.
```text
hugo
```
To learn how to _deploy_ your site, see the [hosting and deployment] section.
## Ask for help
Hugo's [forum] is an active community of users and developers who answer questions, share knowledge, and provide examples. A quick search of over 20,000 topics will often answer your question. Please be sure to read about [requesting help] before asking your first question.
