+### 2. Encourage creativity in web design

+
+## Features
+
+So far we have:
 
 - [Autogenerated home index](..)
 - [{-RSS-} Atom feed](../feed.xml)
 - [Per-article custom theme](../scale/)
 
-The articles themselves are just, uh, _colorful_ lorem ipsums.
-Don't worry too much about their actual content.
+Less obvious features:
+
+- Flexible root dir (the finished site can be served from a subfolder)
+- Livereload on local server
+
+GUI Coming Soon™.
