-This is a blogging site written in nodejs, all pages are served directly by the nodejs backend.<br/>
+This software aims to provide a lot of power to the web admin who is running the blog site.<br/>
-And all data is stored in plaintext<br/>
+Customisation is unlimited with a bit of knowledge of EJS and CSS, you can edit the entire formatting of the pages, making the site truly yours!<br/>
-Please don't use this yet, it's not finished<br/>
+This software also aims to be compatible with text based browsers and as a result contains no client side Javascript, if you're looking for a more<br/>
+beautiful and featureful blogging frontend, this isn't for you.<br/>

+> This software is not finished yet, so it's very buggy and probably really insecure
