+
+## Update Author Attributes
+
+In `_config.yml` remember to specify your own data:
+    
+    title : My Blog =)
+    
+    author :
+      name : Name Lastname
+      email : blah@email.test
+      github : username
+      twitter : username
+
+The theme should reference these variables whenever needed.
+    
+## Sample Posts
+
+This blog contains sample posts which help stage pages and blog data.
+When you don't need the samples anymore just delete the `_posts/core-samples` folder.
+
+    $ rm -rf _posts/core-samples
+
+Here's a sample "posts list".
+
+<ul class="posts">
+  {% for post in site.posts %}
+    <li><span>{{ post.date | date_to_string }}</span> &raquo; <a href="{{ BASE_PATH }}{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></li>
+  {% endfor %}
+</ul>
+
+## To-Do
+
+This theme is still unfinished. If you'd like to be added as a contributor, [please fork](http://github.com/plusjade/jekyll-bootstrap)!
+We need to clean up the themes, make theme usage guides with theme-specific markup examples.
