+# Andrew's Homepage
+
+This project contains my hand-written HTML homepage for the world-wide-web.
+
+It's meant to be deployed as a simple set of files on a server, and doesn't
+use anything fancy beyond what can be done with a normal text editor and an
+HTTP file server.

+            <p>
+                Andrew (the author of this site) is a software engineer by education and profession, but I also do a few other things in my spare time. That includes some combination of running, lifting, computer gaming, and cooking.

+            <h2>About this Site</h2>
+            <p>
+                This page was written by Andrew Lalis, to be his personal website on the world-wide-web. It's got all the usual stuff that a personal site should have, like important links and contact details, plus a little series of articles I've written about my experiences with programming, lifting, gaming, or anything else of interest.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                As you can see, I'm a fan of the <em>plain HTML is responsive</em> school of thought. This website is intentionally very simple in its structure, styling, and interactivity. This is because I believe that the vast majority of the internet's most popular websites sacrifice usability and accessibility to make a flashier product.
