+title: Configuring Hugo
+weight: 40
+---
+
+The directory structure and templates provide the majority of the
+configuration for a site. In fact, a config file isn't even needed for many
+websites since the defaults follow commonly used patterns.
+
+Hugo expects to find the config file in the root of the source directory and
+will look there first for a `config.toml` file. If none is present, it will
+then look for a `config.yaml` file, followed by a `config.json` file.
+
+The config file is a site-wide config. The config file provides directions to
+hugo on how to build the site as well as site-wide parameters and menus.
+
+## Examples
+
+The following is an example of a typical yaml config file:
+
+    ---
+    baseurl: "http://yoursite.example.com/"
+    ...
+
+The following is an example of a toml config file with some of the default values:
+
+    contentdir = "content"
+    layoutdir = "layouts"
+    publishdir = "public"
+    builddrafts = false
+    baseurl = "http://yoursite.example.com/"
+    canonifyurls = true
+
+    [indexes]
+       category = "categories"
+       tag = "tags"
+
+Here is a yaml configuration file which sets a few more options
+
+    ---
+    baseurl: "http://yoursite.example.com/"
+    title: "Yoyodyne Widget Blogging"
+    footnotereturnlinkcontents: "↩"
+    permalinks:
+      post: /:year/:month/:title/
+    params:
+      Subtitle: "Spinning the cogs in the widgets"
+      AuthorName: "John Doe"
+      GitHubUser: "spf13"
+      ListOfFoo:
+        - "foo1"
+        - "foo2"
+      SidebarRecentLimit: 5
+    ...
