Create a new static page using blogdown with same hugo theme as main site

Viewed 1822

I'm using the R package blogdown to create a hugo-powered website. Specifically i'm using the gcushen/hugo-academic theme.

The tutorials by @xieyihui and @apreshill have been wonderfully helpful to get started, and adding new posts is clear, but what about a new static page that uses the same theme as the overall site?

I get that it can be as simple as creating a new .md file with

+++
date = "2017-08-01"
title = "new_page_test"
type = "pages"
+++

## new page test

stuff

My questions are

  1. where do I store this file so that it is copied properly to the public folder?
  2. how to I link to this new page from another page? I'm not clear on the organization of the final file structure that gets published.
