 The *layout* and *section-type* are used by the theme.
 
-<small>
 Note: *{ Personal }* generates a static page, just like all Jekyll themes.
-So we have to create the tag pages before building and publishing the site.
-For now, this has to be done manually, which practically means that you have to add a file under the tags directory, to represent the tag, similar to the existing tutorial.html file. I plan to write a script that will parse the posts, detect the tags and then auto-generate the tag pages.

+As a result we have to create the tag pages before building and publishing the site.
+
+In order to generate the tag pages, simply run the *generate-tags* script from the repo's root directory:
+
+<pre style="text-align: left">
+./scripts/generate-tags
+</pre>
+
+The script will parse all your posts, and generate the tag pages for the newly added tags.
+
+If you are not using Github Pages, you can automate the execution of this script during build time.
