-## Usage
+## Example usage
+
+Create a new website with `jorge init`:
 
 ```bash
 $ jorge init myblog
-> site name: My Blog
-> author: Facundo Olano
-> url: https://myblog.olano.dev
+site name: My Blog
+site url: https://myblog.olano.dev
+author: Facundo Olano
+added myblog/.gitignore

+added myblog/src/blog/hello-org.org
+added myblog/src/blog/index.html
+added myblog/src/blog/tags.html
+added myblog/src/feed.xml
+added myblog/src/index.html

-  added myblog/.gitignore
-  added myblog/config.yml
-  added myblog/layouts/base.html
-  added myblog/layouts/post.html
-  added myblog/src/index.html

-  added myblog/src/tags.html
+This initializes a new project with default configuration, styles and layouts, and a couple of sample posts.
+(You can, of course, use a different site structure or just skip the init command altogether).
 
+To preview your site locally, use `jorge serve`:
+
+```bash
 $ cd myblog
-$ jorge post "My First Post"
-  added draft src/blog/my-first-post.org
-
-# serve the site locally with live reload
 $ jorge serve
-  server running at http://localhost:4001/
+wrote target/feed.xml
+wrote target/blog/goodbye-markdown.html
+wrote target/blog/my-first-post.html
+wrote target/blog/hello-org.html
+wrote target/blog/index.html
+wrote target/index.html
+wrote target/blog/tags.html
+server listening at http://localhost:4001
+```
 
-# browse to the new post
-$ open http://localhost:4001/blog/my-first-post
+The site is renders the files found at `src/` in the `target/` directory.
+You can add new pages by just adding files to `src/` but, for the common case of adding blog posts,
+the `jorge post` creates files with the proper defaults:
 
-# add some content
-$ cat >> src/blog/test.org <<EOF
+```
+$ jorge post "My First Post"
+added src/blog/my-first-post.org
+$ cat src/blog/my-first-post.org
+---
+title: My First Post
+date: 2024-02-21 13:39:59
+layout: post
+lang: en
+tags: []
+---
+#+OPTIONS: toc:nil num:nil
+#+LANGUAGE: en
+```
+
+(Posts are created as .org files by default, but you can chage it to prefer markdown or another text format).
+
+If you still have `jorge serve` running, you can see the new post by browsing to `http://localhost:4001/blog/my-first-post`. You can then add some content and the browser tab will automatically refresh to reflect your changes:
+
+```bash
+$ cat >> src/blog/my-first-post.org <<EOF
 *** Hello world!
 
 this is my *first* post.
 EOF
+```
 
-# remove the draft flag before publishing
-$ sed -i '/^draft: true$/d' src/blog/my-first-post.org
+Finally, you can render a minified version of your site with `jorge build`:
 
+```

+## Acknowledgements
+
+jorge started as a Go learning project and was largely inspired by [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/). Most of the heavy lifting is done by external libraries:
+
+* [osteele/liquid](https://github.com/osteele/liquid) to render liquid templates. Some Jekyll-specific filters were copied from [osteele/gojekyll](https://github.com/osteele/gojekyll/).
+* [niklasfasching/go-org](https://github.com/niklasfasching/go-org) to render org-mode files as HTML.
+* [yuin/goldmark](https://github.com/yuin/goldmark) to render Markdown as HTML.
+* [go-yaml](https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml) to parse YAML files and template headers.
+* [tdewolff/minify](https://github.com/tdewolff/minify) to minify HTML, CSS, XML and JavaScript files.
