How do I add extra pages to my Nucleus site?

Scenario:
"I want to have an "About" page or some other static page. But none of the Nucleus skin type pages are static! Is making static pages possible in Nucleus?"

Solution:
There are actually multiple ways of having static pages or extra pages in Nucleus:

1. Download the Nucleus v3.3 Release Candidate, which has added custom skin parts (allows static pages)
2. If you don't like the idea of installing a version of Nucleus which is not a final release, you can follow this thread to just add the custom skin parts yourself:
   Hack: Custom skinparts, for static content, custom displays
3. There is also utterplush's somewhat messy but functional method which is tried and true:

4. If that is all too complicated, you can make static pages using a simple .txt file:

5. Finally, there is always the option of installing some plugins:
   • NP_Dino.php
   • NP_Static (this plugin is experimental)
   • NP_ExtraSkinJP (see the translated English documentation)
   • NP_ExtraSkin (author no longer using Nucleus)
