> Slash pages are common pages you can add to your website, usually with a standard, root-level slug like `/now`, `/about`, or `/uses`. They tend to describe the individual behind the site and are distinguishing characteristics of the IndieWeb.
+On a blog that is otherwise organized in a fairly chronological manner, slash pages provide a way share information out-of-band. I think they're great for more static content (like an about page that says who I am) as well as for content that may be regularly updated (like a changelog).
+
The pages that I've implemented (so far) include:
- [/about](/about) tells a bit about me and my background
- [/changelog](/changelog) is just *starting* to record some of visual/functional changes I make here

+{{% notice note "Category Names" %}}
+I really wanted to name the category `/slashes`, but that seems to trip up Hugo a bit when it comes to creating an archive of category posts. So I settled for `slashes` and came up with some workarounds to make it present the way I wanted.
+{{% /notice %}}
+
+Hugo will automatically generate an archive page for a given taxonomy term (so a post tagged with the category `slashes` would be listed at `$BASE_URL/category/slashes/`), but I like to have a bit of control over how those archive pages are actually presented. So I create a new file at `content/categories/slashes/_index.md` and drop in this front matter:
+
+```yaml
+# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
+---
+title: /slashes
+url: /slashes
+aliases:
+ - /categories/slashes
+description: >
+ My collection of slash pages.
+---
+```
+
+The `slashes` in the file path tells Hugo which taxonomy it belongs to and so it can match the appropriately-categorized posts.
+
+Just like with normal posts, the `title` field defines the title (duh) of the post; this way I can label the archive page as `/slashes` instead of just `slashes`.
+
+The `url` field lets me override where the page will be served, and I added `/categories/slashes` as an alias so that anyone who hits that canonical URL will be automatically redirected.
+
+Setting a `description` lets me choose what introductory text will be displayed at the top of the index page, as well as when it's shown at the next higher level archive (like `/categories/`).
+
+Of course, I'd like to include a link to [slashpages.net](https://slashpages.net) to provide a bit more info about what these pages are, and I can't add hyperlinks to the description text. What I *can* do is edit the template which is used for rendering the archive page. In my case, that's at `layouts/partials/archive.html`, and it starts out like this:
+
+```jinja-html
+# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
+{{ $pages := .Pages }}
+{{ if .IsHome }}
+ {{ $pages = where site.RegularPages "Type" "in" site.Params.mainSections }}
+{{ end }}
+
+```
+
+Line 9 is where I had already modified the template to conditionally add an RSS link for category archive pages. I'm going to tweak the setup a bit to conditionally render designated text when the page `.Title` matches `/slashes`:
+
+```jinja-html
+# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
+{{ $pages := .Pages }}
+{{ if .IsHome }}
+ {{ $pages = where site.RegularPages "Type" "in" site.Params.mainSections }}
+{{ end }}
+
+```
+
+So instead of rendering the `description` I defined in the front matter the archive page will show:
+
+> *My collection of [slash pages](https://slashpages.net).*
+
+While I'm at it, I'd like for the posts themselves to be listed in alphabetical order rather than sorted by date. So here's how the rest of my existing `archive.html` partial template handles displaying posts:
+
+```jinja-html
+# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
+{{- if eq .Kind "taxonomy" }}
+ {{- if eq .Title "Tags" }}
+
+ {{- else }}
+ {{- range .Pages.ByDate.Reverse }}
+ {{- $postDate := .Date.Format "2006-01-02" }}
+ {{- $updateDate := .Lastmod.Format "2006-01-02" }}
+
+
+
+
+
+ {{ end }}
+ {{- end }}
+{{- else }}
+ {{- range (.Paginate $pages).Pages }}
+ {{- $postDate := .Date.Format "2006-01-02" }}
+ {{- $updateDate := .Lastmod.Format "2006-01-02" }}
+
+
+
+
+
+ {{- end }}
+ {{- template "_internal/pagination.html" . }}
+{{- end }}
+```
+
+Basically: if it's the [tags](/tags/) archive page, it will list out all the tags in a compact way. If it's some other taxonomy page,
