Khaled Garbaya: [0:00] Let's go to our post.md. Add tags, and let's call the tag "post". Let's go to our index, and then change the extension to njk. Let's use our layout. We want to display all the posts. Let's add an h1 here, and then do All Posts.

[0:34] We can use the Eleventy collections object to list all the pages that has the tag "post". Let's hit save and go to our home page. You can see here we have My First Post and then if I click on it, it will take me to my post.
