-## 🚀 Project Structure
-
-Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
+Before deploying to Netlify, generate a [CockroachDB serverless database](https://cockroachlabs.cloud/) and copy the connection string.
 
-```
-/
-├── public/
-│   └── favicon.ico
-├── src/
-│   ├── components/
-│   │   └── Layout.astro
-│   └── pages/
-│       └── index.astro
-└── package.json
-```
-
-Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
-
-There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components or layouts.
-
-Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.

+### What is special about Astro Devblog?
 
-## 👀 Want to learn more?
+Astro devblog has several benefits for use as a developer blog.
 
-Feel free to check [our documentation](https://docs.astro.build) or jump into our [Discord server](https://astro.build/chat).
+1. Completely serverless (no need to pay for hosting with awesome tools like [Netlify](https://netlify.com))
+2. Automatically post to [Medium](https://medium.com) and [Dev.to](https://dev.to/), two blogging platforms often used by developers.
+3. Extensibility - I have done nothing fancy with this template. If you want to change something, it shoudn't be too difficult to do so.
+4. Static - Astro ✨ships zero JavaScript by default✨ which means that Astro Devblog is 🔥blazingly fast🔥
