[Tex/LaTex] Add a new empty page

Question

I have a .tex file which is like my main,

\documentclass[spanish]{article}           
\usepackage{times}                               
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[activeacute,spanish]{babel}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsthm,amsfonts}
\usepackage{programsp}
\usepackage{graphicx}    
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{name}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,0.5}    
\usepackage{pdflscape}

\newcommand{\decel}[4]{\langle#1, #2, #3, #4 \rangle}
\newcommand{\tod}{\rightarrow}
\newcommand{\llor}{\vee}

\newtheorem{Example}{Example}\newtheorem{Definition}{Definition}
\newtheorem{Algoritmo}{Algoritmo}

\normalbaroutside

\begin{document}
%%The text
\input{section}
\input{references}
\end{document}

However after a page of information like my name, and school I want an empty page, I am doing:

\newpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\mbox{}

But this does not work. How do I change it so it works?

Answer 1

\newpage\null\thispagestyle{empty}\newpage

gives an empty page. \null is defined as \hbox{}. This is needed because TeX doesn't create a pagebreak if there is nothing on the page. You can define an own command:

\newcommand*\NewPage{\newpage\null\thispagestyle{empty}\newpage}
