{{content_for_header}}{{content_for_layout}}
Template specific objects
Special purpose templates usually export the object they reference by the same name as the template file. Product.liquid, for example, would export a product object which references the current product on the page.

By convention the default themes will render all articles of a blog with the handle home-page, if it exists, and will display products from a collection with the handle home-page. Both of these objects are created automatically during the Spiffy Stores signup when your new store is created.
product.liquid
This template displays the referenced product and all its variants.
blog.liquid
This template is used to display a blog and its articles.
