-__A Wintersmith Blog__
+When I write, I use markdown, so setting up a simple blog using [wintersmith](http://wintersmith.io/) was a no-brainer.
+
+[Learn More About WinterSmith Here](http://wintersmith.io/)
+
+## Quick-start
+
+First install wintersmith using `npm`:
+
+    $ npm install wintersmith -g
+
+This will install wintersmith globally on your system so that you can access the `wintersmith` command from anywhere. Once that is complete run:
+
+    $ wintersmith new <path>
+
+Where `<path>` is the location you want the site to be generated. This creates a skeleton site with a basic set of templates and some articles, while not strictly needed it's a good starting point.
+
+Now enter the directory and start the preview server:
+
+    $ cd <path>
+    $ wintersmith preview
+
+At this point you are ready to start customizing your site. Point your browser to `http://localhost:8080` and start editing templates and articles.
+
+When done run:
+
+    $ wintersmith build
+
+This generates your site and places it in the `build/` directory - all ready to be copied to your web server!
+
+And remember to give the old `--help` a look :-)
