+## Intro
+
+We'll be using `yml/yaml` format for all examples down below, I recommend using `yml` over `toml` as it is easier to read.
+
+---
+
+## Override theme template
+
+By Hugo's Lookup Order, you can override any part of a theme that you want. The following is a quick example.
+
+Let's say you wish the `list` was different. All you have to do is copy the `list` template:
+
+
+```shell
+your-site/themes/papermod/layouts/_defaults/list.html
+```
+
+And paste it under your own `layouts` folder:
+
+```shell
+your-site/layouts/_defaults/list.html
+```
+
+Then you're free to make any changes you want to the `list`.
+When Hugo builds your site, your copy of `list.html` will be used instead of the theme's `list.html`.
+

+
+## Enable Social-Metadata and SEO
+
+These include OpenGraph, Twitter Cards and Schema.
+
+```yml
+params:
+  env: production
+```
+
+or set `HUGO_ENV` as "production" in system env-vars
+
+---
+
+## Archive Page
+
+```shell
+.
+├── config.yml
+├── content/
+│   ├── archives.md   <--- Create archive.md here
+│   └── posts/
+├── static/
+└── themes/
+    └── hugo-PaperMod/
+```
+
+and add the following to it
+
+```yml
+---
+title: "Archive"
+layout: "archives"
+url: "/archives/"
+summary: archives
+---
+```
