Put them in the content folder. The files will be copied to the output  
folder when the website is built.

<%= link_to_page( :title => "Your Page Title" ) %>

That will find the page that has "Your Page Title" as the value for  
the "title" meta-data attribute. It will use the title as the name for  
the anchor tag. However, you can also specify your own name to use as  
you discovered and replied in one of your response e-mails.

Custom extensions go in the "lib" folder. Any .rb files in there will  
be loaded when the rake tasks are run (build, rebuild, autobuild).  I  
put things in there like code to create breadcrumb links or monkey  
patches to the webby source code.

Thanks for enjoying webby :)  It's been fun to write and fun to use.   
If you want to add updates to the manual, grab the latest version from  
the RubyForge svn and shoot me a diff file.
