+Usage
+------
 
-.. code-block:: bash
+First, get cookiecutter. Trust me, it's awesome::
 
     $ pip install cookiecutter
-    $ cookiecutter https://github.com/sloria/cookiecutter-dj-project.git
+
+Now run it against this repo::
+
+    $ cookiecutter https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-dj-project.git
+
+You'll be prompted for some questions, answer them, then it will create a Django project for you.
+
+Let's pretend you want to create a Django project called "redditclone". Rather than using `startproject`
+and then editing the results to include your name, email, and various configuration issues, let's get
+cookiecutter_ to do all the work.
+
+**Warning**: After this point, change 'Daniel Greenfeld', 'pydanny', etc to your own information.
+
+It prompts you for questions. Answer them::
+
