+Workspace setup
+---------------
+
+* To reduce pain, set up [rbenv] to manage your Ruby versions.
+Install one that's known to work: `make ruby`
+ * Otherwise, make sure you have Ruby and [Bundler] set up.
+* Install dependencies: `make deps`
+* Make sure builds are working: `make build`

+Development
+-----------
+
+* Build the example website and serve it at http://localhost:4000/blog/:
+`make serve`
+ * It will pick up changes and reload pages automatically.

+Upgrading dependencies
+----------------------
+
+ bundle update
+
+Building static pages
+---------------------
+
+If you try to copy the _site directory and open index.html without running the
+web server, it won't work: all links will be messed up.
+Jekyll doesn't provide native support for generating a static website which can
+be browsed without running a web server.
+
+One workaround is to `wget` the website:
+
+ make serve LIVE_RELOAD=0 # Live reloading breaks wget
+ make wget
+
+The truly static version will be downloaded to the .wget/ directory.
