+Basically Basic can now be installed remotely for use on GitHub Pages!
+
+The days of having to forking this repo and manually manage updates are over. Simply install the [**jekyll-remote-theme**](https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-remote-theme) plugin by doing the following and away you go.
+
+1. If you've previously forked this repo start by removing `_layouts`, `_includes`, `_sass`, `assets/javascripts`, and `assets/stylesheets`. Be sure to leave any files that you've customized so they override the versions bundled in the theme.
+
+2. In your `Gemfile` replace `gem "jekyll"` with the following:
+
+   ```ruby
+   gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins
+   gem "jekyll-remote-theme"
+   ```
+
+3. Run `bundle update` and verify that all gems install properly.
+
+4. Add `remote_theme: "mmistakes/jekyll-theme-basically-basic"` to your `_config.yml` file.
+
+5. Then add [`jekyll-remote-theme`](https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-remote-theme) to the `plugins` (previously gems) array in your `_config.yml` file like so:
+
+   ```yaml
+   plugins:
+     - jekyll-remote-theme
+   ```
