+
+## Installation
+
+- Install Jekyll: `gem install jekyll`
+- [Fork this repository][fork]
+- Clone it: `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USER/lagom`
+- Run the jekyll server: `jekyll serve`
+
+You should have a server up and running locally at <http://localhost:4000>.
+
+## Customization
+
+Next you'll want to change a few things. Most of them can be changed directly in
+[_config.yml][config]. That's where you can add your social links, change the accent
+color, stuff like that.
+
+There's a few other places that you'll want to change, too:
+
+- [CNAME][cname]: If you're using this on GitHub Pages with a custom domain name, 
+  you'll want to change this to be the domain you're going to use. All that should 
+  be in here is a domain name on the first line and nothing else (like: `example.com`).
+- [favicon.png][favicon]: This is the icon in your browser's address bar. You should 
+  change it to whatever you'd like.
+- [logo.png][logo]: A square-ish image that appears in the upper-left corner
+
+## Deployment
+
+You should deploy with [GitHub Pages][pages] - it's just easier.
+
+All you should have to do is rename your repository on GitHub to be
+`username.github.io`. Since everything is on the `gh-pages` branch, you
+should be able to see your new site at <http://username.github.io>.

+## Contact
+I'd love to hear from you at [@_swanson][twitter]. Feel free to open issues if you
