Hello
You have somehow found your way to the place where I keep the heavy magic for
-(a new, not-yet-live version of) [https://thelocalyarn.com|The Local Yarn].
+(a new, not-yet-live version of) [https://thelocalyarn.com|The Local Yarn].
+
+Here’s what happens here:
+
+ * I add writings using a custom markup language, and publish them on the web site.
+ * Periodically I can define collections of writings (by date range, for example, or subject
+ matter), and, from the same source markup, generate the PDF files necessary to
+ self-publish a book containing those writings.
+ * The writings, the web and print designs for the writings, the custom markup, and the code
+ defining all of them, are available here in their complete history since the beginning of
+ the project.
-What you are looking at is a Fossil repository — similar to a git repository.
-All the code and documentation is viewable here (use the links above!),
-but I am not yet offering cloning or ZIP downloads.
