+See [docs/DOCUMENTATION.md](docs/DOCUMENTATION.md)
+
+# Customisation:
+Customisation of settings can be done via the config.json file (use example-config.json as an example) and see [the configuration guide](docs/CONFIG.md)<br/>
+Additionaly, more complex configuration of the precise template of the whole site, can be done via [EJS](https://ejs.co/) (in /views) (see [the list of things variables and functions available in EJS](docs/EJS.md) (you will need to understand EJS syntax and JavaScript, to customise this (why did I use EJS? well I originally had this weird system of format indicators with percent (%) signs and stuff (like in unix's date (`date`)) but then I was told EJS is better and it sure is, though it is a bit harder to understand but MUCH more powerful!))
+Also, if you want to change any of the strings on the website, please modify or create a new, customised locale in /locales

 ## Technical configuration
-* "site_url": "https://example.com"<br/>
-    This value defines the url of your site, this used for the RSS feed to link back to post.
-* "port": 8080<br/>
-    Integer. 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<br/>
-    Boolean. Defines weather new people should be allowed to signup.
-* "timeline_length": 20<br/>
-    Integer. How many posts will be shown on the timeline (home page).
-* "enable_hitcount": true<br/>
-    Boolean. 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"<br/>
-    String. This is the value in the <meta charset=""> tag in the html of all pages, you should not change this unless you know why.
-* "root_path": "/path/to/root/of/website"
-    String. Anything in this directory will be in the webroot, so put favicon.ico and anything else here.

+All you need to do is clone the git repository:<br/>
+```git clone https://git.javalsai.tuxcord.net/deadvey/blogger-nodejs.git```<br/>
+Then navigate to /src:<br/>
+```cd src```<br/>
+Then run the initialisation function:<br/>
+```node server.js --first-time```<br/>
+Then you should modify config.json in / to suit your needs.<br/>
+# Running
