-My new website
+My new website is mostly a complete copy of [Tim Visée's site](https://timvisee.com). But that is slowly (slowly) changing as I add my own content and remove his.
+## Content
+The majority of the content is formatted in Markdown, located in the
+[`./content`](./content/) directory.
+It includes a custom theme as well ([zenn][zenn]) for the visuals, by Tim Visée.
+
+This website is built with [Zola][zola], a static website generator.
+See its documentation for more information on how this project is structured.
+
+Any pull requests for changes on the website are welcome.
+
+## Usage
+To run a local instance of this website, be sure to install [`zola`][zola] first.
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/satchlj/satch.xyz
+cd satch.xyz
+
+# Build and serve a local instance
+zola serve --open
+
+# Open: 127.0.0.1:1111
+# Edit files in ./content, view live changes your browser
+
+# Build and deploy
+zola build
+
+# serve static files in public directory to web
+```
