+## External Hosting
+Don't want to use GitHub Pages? Hugo builds everything for you! Everything is a packaged set of static files ready to deploy in `/public`. You can then upload this folder to a cloud provider to deploy. Alternatively, most providers also give users the option to link a GitHub repository and a folder to deploy. When doing this, ensure you select `/public` folder under the `master` branch.

+### Quartz Ignore
+Edit `ignoreFiles` in `config.toml` to include paths you'd like to exclude from being rendered.
+
+```toml
+...
+ignoreFiles = [  
+    "/content/templates/*",  
+    "/content/private/*", 
+	"<your path here>"
+]
+```
+
+`ignoreFiles` supports the use of Regular Expressions (RegEx) so you can ignore patterns as well (e.g. ignoring all `.png`s by doing `\\.png$`).
+
+More details in [Hugo's documentation](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#ignore-content-and-data-files-when-rendering).
+
+### Global Ignore
+However, just adding to the `ignoreFiles` will only prevent the page from being access through Quartz. If you want to prevent the file from being pushed to GitHub (for example if you have a public repository), you need to also add the path to the `.gitignore` file at the root of the repository.

 ## Common Pitfalls
+### Can I publish only a subset of my pages?
+Yes! Quartz makes selective publishing really easy. Heres a guide on [excluding pages from being published](notes/ignore-notes.md).
+
+### Can I host this myself and not on GitHub Pages?
+Yes! All built files can be found under `/public` in the `master` branch. More details under [hosting](notes/hosting.md).
+
 ### Do I need a website already?
 No! Setting up Quartz means you set up a site too :)
