## Creating Content
Pico is a flat file CMS, this means there is no administration backend or
database to deal with. You simply create `.md` files in the `content-sample`
folder and that becomes a page. For example, this file is called `index.md`
and is shown as the main landing page.
Pico is a flat file CMS. This means there is no administration backend or
database to deal with. You simply create `.md` files in the `content` folder and
those files become your pages. For example, this file is called `index.md` and
is shown as the main landing page.
If you create a folder within the content folder (e.g. `content-sample/sub`)
and put an `index.md` inside it, you can access that folder at the URL
`http://example.com/pico/?sub`. If you want another page within the sub folder,
When you install Pico, it comes with a `content-sample` folder. Inside this
folder is a sample website that will display until you add your own content.
You should create your own `content` folder in Pico's root directory and place
your files there. No configuration is required, Pico will automatically use the
`content` folder if it exists.
If you create a folder within the content folder (e.g. `content/sub`) and put an
`index.md` inside it, you can access that folder at the URL
`http://example.com/?sub`. If you want another page within the sub folder,
simply create a text file with the corresponding name and you will be able to
access it (e.g. `content-sample/sub/page.md` is accessible from the URL
`http://example.com/pico/?sub/page`). Below we've shown some examples of
locations and their corresponding URLs:

If a file cannot be found, the file `content-sample/404.md` will be shown. You
can add `404.md` files to any directory, so if you want to use a special error
page for your blog, simply create `content-sample/blog/404.md`.
Instead of adding your own content to the `content-sample` folder, you should
create your own `content` directory in Pico's root directory. You can then add
and access your contents as described above.
If a file cannot be found, the file `content/404.md` will be shown. You can add
`404.md` files to any directory. So, for example, if you wanted to use a special
error page for your blog, you could simply create `content/blog/404.md`.
As a common practice, we recommend you to separate your contents and assets
(like images, downloads etc.). We even deny access to your `content` directory
by default. So if you want to use a asset (e.g. a image) in one of your content
files, upload it to the (to be created) directory `assets` and use it as
follows: <code>!\[Image Title\](&#37;base_url&#37;/assets/image.png)</code>
(like images, downloads, etc.). We even deny access to your `content` directory
by default. If you want to use some assets (e.g. a image) in one of your content
files, you should create an `assets` folder in Pico's root directory and upload
your assets there. You can then access them in your markdown using
<code>&#37;base_url&#37;/assets/</code> for example:
<code>!\[Image Title\](&#37;base_url&#37;/assets/image.png)</code>
