Welcome to your new blog! This is the default blog template with RSS, pagination and an archive. There are other templates available — run wintersmith new --help to list them.
Repeat after me: This is my blog. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My blog is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My blog, without me, is useless. Without my blog, I am useless.
Good, now, the directory structure of your blog is as follows:
├── config.json <- site configuration
├── contents
│ ├── about.md
│ ├── archive.json
│ ├── articles <– each article has its own directory
│ │ ├── another-test
│ │ │ └── index.md
│ │ ├── bamboo-cutter
│ │ │ ├── index.md
│ │ │ └── taketori_monogatari.jpg
│ │ ├── hello-world
│ │ │ └── index.md
│ │ ├── markdown-syntax
│ │ │ └── index.md
│ │ └── red-herring
│ │ ├── banana.png
│ │ └── index.md
│ ├── authors <- author metadata, check author.jade
│ │ ├── baker.json
│ │ └── the-wintersmith.json
│ ├── css
│ │ └── main.css
│ └── feed.json
├── plugins
│ └── paginator.coffee <- paginator plugin
├── templates
│ ├── archive.jade
│ ├── article.jade
│ ├── author.jade
│ ├── feed.jade
│ ├── index.jade
│ └── layout.jade
└── views
└── articles.coffee <- view that lists articles
Articles are sorted by date and 3 are shown per page, you can configure this and more in config.json. Check paginator.coffee for all options related to pagination, most plugins also have their own options.

Links in the markdown to other items in the content tree will be resolved for you.
For example a link to ../bamboo-cutter/index.md resolves to /articles/bamboo-cutter/.
This is where I leave you to your own devices. Join #wintersmith on freenode if you have any questions.
