## Intro
We'll be using `yml/yaml` format for all examples down below, I recommend using `yml` over `toml` as it is easier to read.
---
## Override theme template
By Hugo's Lookup Order, you can override any part of a theme that you want. The following is a quick example.
Let's say you wish the `list` was different. All you have to do is copy the `list` template:
```shell
your-site/themes/papermod/layouts/_defaults/list.html
```
And paste it under your own `layouts` folder:
```shell
your-site/layouts/_defaults/list.html
```
Then you're free to make any changes you want to the `list`.
When Hugo builds your site, your copy of `list.html` will be used instead of the theme's `list.html`.

## Archive Page
```shell
.
├── config.yml
├── content/
│ ├── archives.md <--- Create archive.md here
│ └── posts/

└── themes/

```
and add the following to it
```yml
---
title: "Archive"
layout: "archives"
url: "/archives/"

```

## Custom Head / Footer
Custom css/js can be added by way mentioned below.
```
.(site root)
├── config.yml

```
Create a html page in directory structure as shown above.
Contents of `extend_head.html` will be added to `head` of page.
and contents of `extend_footer.html` will be added to bottom of page.
---
## Pin a Post
Post can be pinned/ displayed top on the list by adding a `weight=<num>` var to page-variables
example:
```yml
---
title: "My Important post"
date: 2020-09-15T11:30:03+00:00
weight: 1
---
```
```yml
---
title: "My 2nd Important post"
date: 2020-09-15T11:30:03+00:00
