I would have expected some other file to be modified to link to this
page from elsewhere on the website too.

Indeed, can't we just link it from the navigation bar (_includes/nav.html)?

Maybe add a glue sentence here à la:

Maybe add a "." before the "<br>"s ?
Apart from that, content looks fine to me, but please add a link to
_includes/footer.html or _includes/nav.html.
