Updating the content

1. Open the app directory, click on the story.md file
2. Click the pencil icon to edit story.md.
3. Here are some basics on editing the document:

• To make something bold, wrap the text you want to be bold *in asterisks*.
• To make something italic, wrap the text you want to be italic _in underscores_.
• To make something a link, wrap the linked text in square brackets, and then put the url in parens right after, [like so](http://www.nydailynews.com/)

2. Open up terminal,
3. Create a virtualenv for your project (pip install virtualenv from anywhere in your terminal should work. More here)
   1. To get set up with virtual environments (Mac and *nix):
      1. pip install virtualenv (if you get a "requirement already satisfied" response, that's okay, continue along)
      2. pip install virtualenvwrapper (if you get a "requirement already satisfied" response, that's okay too)
      3. export WORKON_HOME=~/Envs * Note: It's worth adding this line to your ~/.bash_profile file
