+Welcome, user! We are glad to have you on board!  
+To start, find the "posts" directory in the data folder you have created, or mounted using docker.  
+This is the same directory you put your config file in.  
+
+Create a file named "hello.md", and start the file with:  
+```
+# [Your Title]
+```  
+  
+Now you can start writing blog posts!
