+## The default template for [Telegram](https://telegr.am) sites
 
-The Base Template for Telegram sites
+This template is the default template for Telegram sites.  It's based on 
+[Twitter Bootstrap](http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/) with modifications
+and enhancements based on [Addy Osmani's](http://addyosmani.github.com/jquery-ui-bootstrap/) stuff.
+
+Include this template in your site by putting the following line
+at the top of your `index.md` file:
+
+    default_template:  https://github.com/telegr-am/template-base.git
+
+So that your `index.md` looks something like:
+
+    default_template:  https://github.com/telegr-am/template-base.git
+
+    # Hello
+
+    I am a page
+
+Alternatively, you can put it in Hoisted's faux reference metadata format:
+
+
+    # Hello
+
+    I am a page
+
+    [default_template: https://github.com/telegr-am/template-base.git]: /
+
+You can also fork the template and change it up to your heart's content and then
+use the `default_template` metadata to point to your public GitHub repository
+with the template in it.
+
+We will also gladly accept pull requests if there are fixes or enhancements to this
+template.
+
+Rock and Roll!
