Adding New Pages

[iandstanley]

Hi i'm new to Hugo but have used a few static site generators before.

I've figured out how to add a page by adding a markdown file in the root of the contents, and also how to add the page to the main menu (or not add to main menu as required).

When I look at a page that I have added (eg. page on localhost:1313/about/ for example) I get the blog previous/next post on the PAGE.

I assume I either have to add something to the page toml -- either turn off a setting or specify some page layout (and maybe I have to duplicate a layout without the blog prev/next)

I have looked at the template but it is a little beyond my current comprehension.
I thought that I could duplicate the layouts/index.html as layouts/about.html but then couldn't figure out how to force a particular layout.

How can I go about creating a page layout with out the blog previous/next entry at the bottom of the page?
