You're reading a short article in Nesta, a rather simple CMS. I've created these pages so that you can learn the basics of Nesta by playing around with some examples. You'll find the content of all the pages on this site in the nesta-demo-content repository on GitHub.

and reloading the page in your browser. There's no need to restart Nesta between edits.
