+
+Notes are short posts that focus on a small bit of information. Other than my blogposts they do not try to give a
+complete picture or a full explanation. They are more of a brain-dump of mine with a low bar of typing them out.
+
+So how did I add them?
+
+1. **Create a notes folder:** The folder in `content/notes` will hold the notes
+2. **Add rendering template:** Hugo needs to know what to do here, so add a rendering template in
+   `layouts/notes/list.html`. A sample is provided below.
+3. Add `content/notes/_index.md` with a short explanation of the 
+
+### Styling template
+
+```html
+{{ define "main" }}
+<h1">Notes</h1>
+
+<div>
+    {{ .Content }}
+</div>
+
+
+<ul>
+    {{ range .Pages.ByDate.Reverse }}
+    <li
+    ">
+    <h2>
+        <a href="{{ .Permalink }} "> {{ .Title }} </a>
+    </h2>
+    <small">{{ .Date.Format "2006-01-02" }}</small>
+    {{ if .Params.subtitle }}
+    <p>{{ .Params.subtitle }}</p>
+    {{ end }}
+    </li>
+    {{ end }}
+</ul>
+{{ end }}
+
+```
+
+As you can see, I added an optional subtitel. They make it much easier to find a note that is interesting, but should
+not be necessary to lower the bar for the author. Subtitles can be specified like this
+
+```markdown
