Update readme instructions for css and images
The instructions should be changed to properly reflect the way css and images are handled in the configuration. At the moment the instructions reference css and png files being handled via templateFormats, but in reality they're configured to be located in special css and img directories and handled via addPassthroughCopy().

### Implementation Notes
|
||||
|
||||
* `about/index.md` shows how to add a content page.
|
||||
* `posts/` has the blog posts but really they can live in any directory. They need only the `post` tag to be added to this collection.
|
||||
* Add the `nav` tag to add a template to the top level site navigation. For example, this is in use on `index.njk` and `about/index.md`.
|
||||
* Content can be any template format (blog posts needn’t be markdown, for example). Configure your supported templates in `.eleventy.js` -> `templateFormats`.
|
||||
* Because `css` and `png` are listed in `templateFormats` but are not supported template types, any files with these extensions will be copied without modification to the output (while keeping the same directory structure).
|
||||
* The blog post feed template is in `feed/feed.njk`. This is also a good example of using a global data files in that it uses `_data/metadata.json`.
|
||||
* This example uses three layouts:
|
||||
* `_includes/layouts/base.njk`: the top level HTML structure
|
||||
* `_includes/layouts/home.njk`: the home page template (wrapped into `base.njk`)
|
||||
* `_includes/layouts/post.njk`: the blog post template (wrapped into `base.njk`)
|
||||
* `_includes/postlist.njk` is a Nunjucks include and is a reusable component used to display a list of all the posts. `index.njk` has an example of how to use it.
