+# Welcome to your pod
+
+## A place to store your data
+Your pod is a **secure storage space** for your documents and data.
+<br>
+You can choose to share those with other people and apps.
+
+As the owner of this pod,
+identified by <a href="{{webId}}">{{webId}}</a>,
+you have access to all of your documents.
+
+## Working with your pod
+The easiest way to interact with pods
+is through Solid apps.
+<br>
+For example,
+you can open your pod in [Databrowser](https://solid.github.io/mashlib/dist/browse.html?uri={{podBaseUrl}}).
+
+## Learn more
+The [Solid website](https://solidproject.org/)
+and the people on its [forum](https://forum.solidproject.org/)
+will be glad to help you on your journey.
