 [my fork][cookbooks-developish] of [those by Opscode][cookbooks-opscode], which
 allows for their use with Chef Solo and for a blank MySQL root password.
 
+NEVER WORRY ABOUT SETTING UP MYSQL AND PHP ON YOUR MAC EVER AGAIN!

 ## Requirements ##
 
 * [Vagrant][vagrant]
 
+    $ gem install vagrant
+
 ## To get started ##
 
-    $ git clone git://github.com/developish/vagrant-wordpress.git
+    $ git clone git://github.com/paulcarvill/vagrant-wordpress.git
     $ cd vagrant-wordpress
     $ vagrant up

-it in the Wordpress dashboard, and get to work!
+You'll need to install Wordpress (i.e. set up an admin user, name the Wordpress 
+blog etc.). Then copy a base theme (like the totally stripped-down [Starkers][starkers]) into the theme 
+directory, select Appearance > Themes in the Wordpress dashboard, choose the new theme and get to work!
+
+Your Ubuntu/PHP/MySQL box exists as a virtual machine. The website running on 
+the virtual machine is pointing back at the theme directory on your local 
+machine. So you can do your work, keep it in version control, and destroy the 
+virtual machine once you're finished using:
+
+    $ vagrant destroy
