 ===============
 
 A collaborative course blog with support for multiple authors.
+
+See the example site deployed on [Github Pages](http://silshack.github.io/professorjekyll).
+
+## Purpose
+It's crucial to teach modern programming tools alongside basic coding skills.  Git and Github are valuable and pervasive tools, but they're seldom integrated into programming classes. Enter Professor Jekyll.
+
+Our goal with Professor Jekyll is to make it easy for instructors to set up a collaborative companion blog for their courses.  Students can get comfortable with using [Github Flow in the Browser](https://github.com/blog/1557-github-flow-in-the-browser) (or even a simple push-to-master flow in the very beginning), _in parallel to_ learning their for loops, if statements, and flow of control.  As the course progresses, add in issues, pull requests, and even milestones.
+
+## Usage
+
+For now, these cryptic instructions will suffice:  Clone it, edit the remotes to point to your own GH repo, enable gh-pages, and proceed to edit.
+
+Notably:
+* `_config.yml` - this is where you'll define your course and author information
+* `_layouts/default.html` - the pages are hard-coded into the header.  You'll also likely want to change the footer a little.
+* `css/main.css` - I haven't touched the base CSS beyond some minor tweaks. 
+
+Full documentation should be complete by the end of 2013.
+
+## Contributing
+I'd love contributions.  TODOs:
+* populate header page links automatically
+* little Gravitars for authors everywhere
+* Better/distinctive default CSS
+
+Open an issue with your suggestion so we can discuss, or if it's a small one just pull request it.
