-## Basic Setup for new Jekyll site
+## Getting Started
 
-1. [Install Bundler](http://bundler.io) `gem install bundler` and then install [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) and all dependencies `bundle install`.
-2. Fork the [So Simple Theme repo](https://github.com/mmistakes/so-simple-theme/fork).
-3. Clone the repo you just forked and rename it.
-4. Edit `_config.yml` to personalize your site.
-5. Check out the sample posts in `_posts` to see examples for pulling in large feature images, assigning categories and tags, and other YAML data.
-6. Read the documentation below for further customization pointers and documentation.
-
-[Demo the Theme](http://mmistakes.github.io/so-simple-theme/)
-
-**Pro-tip:** Remove the sample posts in `_posts` and the `gh-pages` branch after cloning. There is a bunch of garbage in the `gh-pages` branch used for the theme's demo site.

-## Setup for Existing Jekyll site
-
-1. Clone the following folders: `_includes`, `_layouts`, `assets`, and `images`.
-2. Clone the following files and personalize content as need: `about.md`, `articles.html`, `index.html`, `tags.html`, `feed.xml`, and `sitemap.xml`.

-
-``` yaml
-title:            
-description:      
-logo:             
-disqus_shortname: 
-search:           true
-# Your site's domain goes here. When working locally use localhost server
-# PS. If you set this wrong stylesheets and scripts won't load and most links will break.
-# PPS. If you leave it blank for local testing home links won't work, they'll be fine for live domains though.
-url:              http://localhost:4000
