+Hugo Example Blog
+=================
+
+This repository provides a fully-working example of a [Hugo](https://github.com/spf13/hugo)-powered blog. Many
+Hugo-specific features are used as a way to see them in action, and hopefully ease the learning curve for creating your
+very own site with Hugo.
+

+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+To get started you should simply fork or clone this repository! That's definitely an important first step.
+
+[Install Hugo](http://hugo.spf13.com/overview/installing) in a way that best suits your environment and comfort level.
+
+Edit `config.yaml` and change the default properties to suit your own information. This is not required to run the
+example, but this is the global configuration file and you're going to need to use it eventually. Start here!
+
+In a command prompt or terminal, navigate to the path that contains your `config.yaml` file and run `hugo`. That's it!
+You should now have a `public` directory with a complete blog! Open `public/index.html` in your browser and bask.
+
+If that wasn't amazing enough, from the same terminal run `hugo server -w`. This will watch your directories for changes
+and rebuild the site immediately, *and* it will make these changes available at http://localhost:1313/ so you can view
+your finished site in your browser. Go on, try it. This is one of the best ways to preview your site while working on it.
+
+To further learn Hugo and learn more, read through the Hugo [documentation](http://hugo.spf13.com/overview/introduction)
+or browse around the files in this repository. Have fun!
