 Getting Started

-`ABlog Quick Start <http://ablog.readthedocs.org/manual/ablog-quick-start>`_
-guide.
+If you are starting a new project, see `ABlog Quick Start`_ guide.
 
-To enable blogging in a Sphinx project, append ``ablog`` to the
-list of extensions and ABlog template path to :confval:`templates_path`
-in :file:`conf.py`:
+If you already have a project, enable blogging by editing ``conf.py``
+as follows:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
+  # 1. append ablog to list of extensions
   extensions = [
       '...',
       'ablog'
   ]
+  
+  # 2a. append ABlog templates path to `templates_path`

-**Read The Docs**
 
-On `Read The Docs`_, ABlog may cause an exception when Sphinx build environment
-is being pickled.  To circumvent this problem, include the following
-in :file:`conf.py`::
-
-  if os.environ.get('READTHEDOCS', None) == 'True':
-      skip_pickling = True
-
-This should not effect how the documentation is built.

 How it works
 ------------
 
-ABlog catalogs all :file:`.rst` files indicated as posts and creates
-archive pages and a blog feed. It does not interfere with Sphinx's operations,
-and you do not need to change how you structure content in separate folders.
-
-You can convert *any page*, containing a new usage example or a new release
-announcement, to a post with the :rst:dir:`post` directive as follows:
