• The MetalsmithExampleRepo.zip contains our Metalsmith examples
• Unzip this somewhere on your system
• Take a look, where are the files?

2. basicPlug – Write our own basic plugin
3. markdown – Processing Markdown files with plugin
4. layout – Using templates (Nunjucks.js)
5. yml – Using YAML and Metalsmith processing flow
