Categories
All types of blogs; Story isn’t opinionated about what you call them (you can put your content under /posts/, /blog/, /articles/, or whatever)
A section for “talks,” which is different from slideshows; a talks page is a place to put information about your presentations, including links to videos, the location, slides, and so on. /talks/ and /slides/ are the only two content types for which Story has special formatting and archetypes.
An archive listing page, which uses the archives layout analogously to the search feature
404 error page
Social-media meta tags to make your content look great when shared on social media sites
Using skip to hide content from default lists, but generating HTML pages for it
