+SIMPLE GUIDE FOR CREATING YOUR OWN SHINOBI.WEBSITE
+
+Learn how to setup your own Shinobi site without the need for any 
+technical background.
+
+I'm going to keep this article as streamlined as possible. This post 
+assumes you understand _what_ a shinobi website is and will therefore 
+skip reiterating that. Instead we will break things down into basic 
+step-by-step instructions.
+
+
+STEP 1
+------
+
+Create a new folder (where you think it is best on your system). This 
+will contain all the files for our shinobi website. Name it what ever 
+you like.
+
+
+STEP 2
+------
+
+Download the following project:
+
+https://git.sr.ht/~tdarb/shinobi-script
+
+
+STEP 3
+------
+
+Edit the following content in the newly created "script.sh" to align 
+with your own settings. (ie: YOUR-DOMAIN would be 
+"yourcustomdomain.com") Feel free to use any text editor that works 
+best for you.
+
+1. YOUR-DOMAIN
+2. YOUR-EMAIL (YOUR-NAME)
+3. YOUR-BLOG-TITLE
+4. YOUR-BLOG-DESCRIPTION
+5. YOUR-COPYRIGHT-INFO
+
+*Important*: You might not have a domain setup currently or plan to use 
+the one generated by Netlify Drop below. That's okay! You can always 
+come back to this step after the domain is live, change it and re-run 
+everything again to update!
+
+
+STEP 4
+------
+
+Next, look for the folder named "posts". This will contain all your 
+blog posts going forward. (It also contains a couple dummy posts for 
+reference)
+
+
+STEP 5
+------
+
+Write your first blog post! Create a new text file inside the "posts" 
+sub-folder (ie: my-awesome-post.txt). Be sure to structure the first 4 
+lines the same as below: (Pay attention to the blank space between the 
+title and post description!)
+

+> YOUR BLOG POST TITLE
+> 
+> This is my short and sweet blog post description
+
+
+STEP 6
+------
+
+If you are happy with your article then that means it's time to 
+generate your site! Open a terminal app in your system (Windows, Mac, 
+Linux - doesn't matter) and navigate to your new website folder by 
+typing the following:
+
+cd path/to/your/blog/folder
+
+
+STEP 7
+------
+
+Now run the bash script to generate the "feed.xml" file automatically:
+
+bash script.sh > feed.xml
+
+
+STEP 8
+------
+
+Now to host your new website! For this tutorial we are going to use 
+Netlify Drop for simplicity and ease-of-use. Go to 
+https://app.netlify.com/drop and then drag-and-drop your website folder 
+directly into the website.
+
+You'll get a ".netlify.app" based URL, unless you decide to implement a 
+custom domain (which is easy to do following Netlify's instructions).
+
+Now you can share your "subdomain.netlify.app/feed.xml" with the world 
+and your readers can subscribe via RSS!
+
+
+WHAT ABOUT NEW POSTS OR UPDATES?
+--------------------------------
+
+By getting a free Netlify account you can continue to re-upload the 
+website folder when you make changes or add new articles. Easy, right?
+
+Good luck on your own shinobi websites!
+
+
+P.S. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions via 
+shinobi.web@protonmail.com. I'll try to respond as quick as I can. 
+Please be patient!
