  I've created a Channel with templates `blog/index` and `blog/_entry`. Template `blog/index` will list the blog articles and `blog/_entry` will display individual blog articles. I want to have meta title/description and some intro text on the `blog/index` page that is managed by Craft. How can this be done?
