-# Page Construction
-Navigation from the main page happens via a button image.  These should be 300 pixels by 300 pixels.
+# Ticky Tacky Dark - Theme for Hugo
+This is a multi-page theme, where the list page displays a set of image buttons linking to your sub-pages.
 
-On sub-pages, images can appear on the left side.  These should be 480 pixels by 800 pixels.
+Preview at <https://kc0bfv.github.io/ticky_tacky_dark>
 
-In the headers, images should be 950 pixels by 200 pixels.
+## Configuration
+The exampleSite demonstrates the features unique to this theme.  In your site config params section the following extra parameters are supported:
+* favicon - the favicon URL, relative to your site (placed in header meta tag)
+* webmasterEmail - the webmaster email displayed in the footer
+* author - the author for the header meta tag
+* description - the description for the header meta tag
+* headerimages - a list of relative image URLs for the header of each page
+* msvalidate - MS validation tag
+* googlesiteverification - Google site verification tag
+
+Pages you add have custom front matter options:
+* buttonimage - the relative image URL for the page's button on the front page
+* sideimages - a list of relative image URLs for the left sidebar on the page
+* sideimagealt - the alternate text for the page's left sidebar image
+* weight - an integer that specifies page ordering for the front page.  If you want the buttons and navbar items to show pages in a specific order, specify the ordering via weight.  Ordering goes from lowest weight to highest, left to right, top to bottom.
+
+## Page Construction
+Navigation from the main page happens via a button image.  These images are, optimally, 300x300 pixels.  Specify these button image URLs in a page's front matter with the `buttonimage` option.
+
+On sub-pages, images can appear on the left side.  Sizing can vary there, but at full size images come out as about 277.5 pixels, and a size of about 300x500 pixels works nicely.  You can specify multiple images for a sub-page, and they'll be randomly selected on load.  Specify them as a list of image URLs on the page front matter, with option `sideimages`.
+
+Header images are, optimally, 950x200 pixels.  Specify these in the site configuration as a list of image URLs with option `headerimages`.  One will be randomly selected on page load.
+
+## Usage
+Put this theme in your site's themes folder, then modify the site config to specify the theme `ticky_tacky_tark`, or use the `-t ticky_tacky_dark` command line switch.
