  [[menu.main]]
    name = "home"
    pre = "<i class=\"fas fa-home fa-sm\"></i>"
    url = "/"
    weight = -9 
  [[menu.main]]

    pre = "<i class=\"fas fa-keyboard fa-ms\"></i>"
    url = "/blog/"
    weight = -8

  [[menu.main]]
    name = "contact"
    pre = "<i class=\"far fa-envelope\"></i>"
    url = "/contact"
    weight = -1 

for the contact page to work you have to make a free form at formspree and put your form id in the variable formspreeID in the configuration file.

every menu entry has a corresponding section named [[menu.mail]] under [menu]. to add or change a menu entry add or change the corresponding section with name being the name displayed in the menu, pre is a text before the name (you can grap icons from fontawesome), url is the url that the menu item points to, and weight is an integer value that represent the order of the menu items (items with lower weight float)

In order to see your site updating while changing it, run Hugo's built-in local server.
