In general:

• Edit templates/layout.html to change the way the site's pages look
• Add routes (pages) by editing flaskr.py and adding the appropriate templates
• Edit static/style.css to change the site's styling if desired

In specific:

• Create templates/about.html to be something like this:

{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block body %}
  <h2>About</h2>
  <p>Here's a little about me</p>
{% endblock %}

• Add a route for your about page in flaskr.py:

@app.route('/about')
def about():
    return render_template('about.html')

• Add a link to your templates/layout.html:

...
  <h1>Flaskr</h1>
  <div class=metanav>
  ## Add this line:
    <a href="{{ url_for('about') }}">about</a>
  {% if not session.logged_in %}
...
