+# Configuration Documentation
+## Introduction
+The configuration file is stored in a file called config.json, for an example, copy example-config.json to config.json (`cp example-config.json config.json`) and modify from there.
+Currently all values in example-config.json are required, however I plan to add support for default values in the case of no value being set.
+
+## Technical configuration
+* "site_url": "https://example.com"
+ This value defines the url of your site, this used for the RSS feed to link back to post.
+* "port": 8080
+ This value defines the port that you run the blog on. Don't change this value if you don't know what that means.
+* "allow_signup": true
+ Boolean that defines weather new people should be allowed to signup.
+* "timeline_length": 20
+ How many posts will be shown on the timeline (home page).
+* "enable_hitcount": true
+ Enabling the hitcount (a number that represents the amount of front page loads (stored in hitcount.txt)) can slightly slow down loading of the front page.
+* "charset": "UTF-8"
+ This is the value in the tag in the html of all pages, you should not change this unless you know why.
