+You need git and hugo to build the website.  On Debian or similar
+Linux Distributions, install them like this:
+
+    $ sudo apt install git hugo
+
+Now you can clone the repository:
+
+    $ ssh://git@gitlab.hamburg.ccc.de:4242/cryptoparty/website-content.git
+
+If this doesn't work, you may need to add a ssh authentication key to

 Furthermore, you need to checkout the submodules:
 
+    $ cd website-content
     website-content $ git submodule init
     website-content $ git submodule update
 
-Now you can build the site using 'make', it will be put into 'public'.
-'make server' will launch a local server that is useful while editing
-the web site.
+Building and making changes
+---------------------------
 
-Server setup
-------------
+Now you can build the site using `make`, it will be put into `public`.
+`make server` will launch a local server that is useful while editing
+the web site.  To view the site while you are editing it, go to
+[http://localhost:1313](http://localhost:1313).
+
+Creating a new post
+-------------------
+
+First, make sure your checkout is up-to-date:
+
+    $ git pull
+
+Then, create a new branch for you post:
+
+    $ git checkout -b my-new-post
+
+Now, to create a new post for a meetup, do:
+
+    $ hugo new termine/2020-januar.md
+    $ editor content/termine/2020-januar.md
+
+Fill out the scaffolded header on top.  Add content below the `---`
+marker.  After the first paragraph, insert `<!--more-->` to mark the
+first paragraph as the introduction to be used on the front page.  Use
+`make server` to view your changes.
+
+If you are satisfied, add it to the branch, and push it to the server:
+
+    $ git add content/termine/2020-januar.md
+    $ git commit -m 'Added new post.'
+    $ git push
+
+Then, [create a merge request] on gitlab.  Press the blue button
+labeled `Create merge request`.  On the following site, press the
+green `Submit merge request` button, then press the blue button
+labeled `Merge once pipeline succeeds`.  Your change will be published
+once the continuous integration setup confirmed the validity of the
+change.

+
+How this is set up on the server
+================================
 
 On the server, the website is built using gitlab's ci runner, see
 `.gitlab-ci.yml`.  To deploy the site, the ci job rsyncs it to the
