Adding Pages to sidebar

Today I'm going to describe how to add a list of pages to the sidebar in the Mid-Century theme. The example I'm giving here creates a single-level list without folders.

First, create a new template module called “Pages” and paste in this snippet (will open in new window).

Next, edit the “Sidebar” template module and find where the “About Me” module is included and paste the following directly after that:

<$mt:include module="Pages"$>

Republish and you should be all set.

How do I get a permalink to a specific page via a template tag? Something like ?

I'd like to use that in my navigation header links. Right now, I just hardcode to specific locations based on a particular pages URL.

Thanks for the tip. I absolutely love the template and the features are fantastic!

When I click on the link for the SNIPPET code - the page is BLANK. Can you please repost the snippet code. I think that when you changed over to TypePad the snippet code got lost!
