Structure of the site and where to find the most important things:

You will find a module specific directory. eg module1 and within each directory you will find a directory for lessons and projects. All files within this site can be written as either markdown or html. To link to each you just need to write the relative path to each file without the file extension. For example lessons/lesson_on_stuff.

Additionally each new file will need a header:

---
title: Name of lesson
subheading: lesson is about stuff
layout: page
---

The navigation.html file is where you will find the sidebar for the site.

The today.html file is where you will find the basic html page for today, and each file for the specific day will live within the today directory.
