 Graphpaper is a lightweight plugin to [Compass][compass_homepage] that 
 provides tools for rapidly prototyping fixed-width grid-based HTML layouts. 
-Unlike larger, more mature CSS frameworks and Compass extensions, Graphpaper 
-makes no design assumptions, but instead provides a highly organized structure
-and opinionated defaults to assist an iterative design process.

-Recommended Workflow
-====================
+Sample Workflow
+===============
 
 Graphpaper is used internally at [Policus][policus_url] to prototype all 
-HTML-based interfaces. Ideas usually begin as pencil sketches and proceed 
-immediately to an HTML prototyping phase. Once the basic grid for each page
-has been defined, a full-page screen capture is created using [Paparazzi][], 
-and is then handed off to the graphic design team and acts as a guide during 
-the visual design stage. The result is a highly iterative approach that allows
-disparate teams to focus on their core strengths and promote low turnaround 
-times for implementation of visual changes.
+HTML-based interfaces. Our workflow usually goes as follows:
+
+1. The basic layout of a page is developed through iterative 
+   [pencil sketches][sketch_image].
+
+2. Using Graphpaper, we immediately jump into coding HTML prototypes to test
+   assumptions made on paper and get a feel for how the interface will work
+   in a browser.
+
+3. Once we're happy with the overall architecture of the page, [Paparazzi][] 
+   is used to create a screen capture of the entire page.
+
+4. The graphic design team takes the screen capture and uses it guide when
+   developing the visual identity of the site.
+
+5. Visual design changes are then quickly implemented using standard SASS and
+   Compass functionality to enable immediate feedback from developers, 
+   designers, and clients.
+
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+Check partials/_base.sass for instructions to initialize a grid for your page.
+Graphpaper makes heavy use of the last-child pseudo-element to clear the 
+floats required for a grid. The +last mixin is available for use in your IE 
+stylesheet to compensate for the browser's implementation deficiencies.
+
+To create your grid columns, mix +container into any element that will be 
+grouping columns and then use +column(n) to have an element span n-number of
+columns.
+
+The size of your columns and gutters can be defined in partials/_config.sass. 
+Graphpaper defaults to the standard [Blueprint][] 960px grid.
