+# Hello Page

+
+A so very simple personal site.
+
+This is a [Fork-n-Go](http://www.jlord.github.io/forkngo) project, so fork to get started making your own.
+
+See the demo at [jlord.github.io/hello](http://jlord.github.io/hello).
+
+## Create your own
+
+### First, fork this repository.
+
+Click the fork button in the upper right. Now you have a copy of this repository on your GitHub account!
+
+### Rename your fork
+
+Once you've forked it, click on Settings and rename your fork, because probably `hello` is not what you want in your URL. Name your new repository: `username.github.io` (but make `username` your username, for instance, I'd use `jlord.github.io`). GitHub will host all website files on the `master` branch of a repo with that account name convention. Woo! More info on that at [pages.github.com](http://www.pages.github.com).
+
+You can also give it any 'ol name and GitHub will host it using this patter: `username.github.io/reponame`. Or you can keep it named `hello` and find it at: `username.github.io/hello`.
+
+### Make yours live
+
+1. From your fork's page on GitHub, click the index.html link, then on the next page click Edit.
+2. Make changes to the HTML so that the site reflects your name and bio.
+8. At the bottom of the site, click the Commit button to save your changes.
+
+Now your site is live! Go check it out!
+
+
+### Style
+
+There are basic styles included in `style.css` but go wild and make it your own, try other things!
+
+### Bonus Style
+
+There is another style, on the `lines` branch. To access this style however you'll need to use your Terminal or GitHub desktop app to delete `gh-pages` and then rename `lines` to `gh-pages`.
