-[![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/pybites/challenges](https://badges.gitter.im/pybites/challenges.svg)](https://gitter.im/pybites/challenges?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
+Every Tuesday we release [a new code challenge](https://pybit.es/pages/challenges.html). Next Monday we publish submissions that have been PR'd. 
 
-Every Monday we release a code challenge [on our blog](http://pybit.es). 
-End of the week we publish one or more solutions.
+Follow [these instructions](https://github.com/pybites/challenges/blob/master/INSTALL.md) to get coding.
 
-The goal is to have us and our readers work on the solution during the week.
+To receive a weekly email notification [subscribe here](https://pybites-notifier.herokuapp.com).
 
-To keep it simple we don't accept pull-requests at this time. 
-Just fork the repo (at the top of this page) and work on your solution locally.
+Remember, we don't strive for the 'best' solution, it's not a competition.  Learning more + better Python is the main objective. Respect the newbie.
 
-See [here](https://github.com/pybites/challenges/blob/master/INSTALL.md) for more details.
+We believe solving code challenges is a very effective way to achieve this. Good luck and have fun!
 
-If you have questions or want to share your solution use the comment section of the [challenge (review) posts](http://pybit.es/pages/challenges.html).
-
-Remember, we don't strive for the 'best' solution, it's not a competition. 
-We do of course strive to have good Pythonic solutions so any feedback is welcome, but do respect the newby / learner. 
-
-Again, learning more + better Python is the main objective. 
-We believe solving code challenges is a very effective way to achieve this.
-
-Have fun!
