Split Getting Started docs into separate sections

Browse source 
The "Getting Started" docs became overly long and unwieldy over time.
This splits it into separate sections, including:

* Quickstart
* Installation
* Writing content
* Publish your site

How to create themes for Pelican
################################
Creating themes
###############
Pelican uses the great `Jinja2 <http://jinja.pocoo.org/>`_ templating engine to
generate its HTML output. Jinja2 syntax is really simple. If you want to
create your own theme, feel free to take inspiration from the `"simple" theme
To generate its HTML output, Pelican uses the `Jinja <http://jinja.pocoo.org/>`_
templating engine due to its flexibility and straightforward syntax. If you want
to create your own theme, feel free to take inspiration from the `"simple" theme
<https://github.com/getpelican/pelican/tree/master/pelican/themes/simple/templates>`_.
To generate your site using a theme you have created (or downloaded manually and
then modified), you can specify that theme via the ``-t`` flag::
pelican content -s pelicanconf.py -t /projects/your-site/themes/your-theme
If you'd rather not specify the theme on every invocation, you can define
``THEME`` in your settings to point to the location of your preferred theme.
