+  <!-- <h2>Quick Start with GitHub Pages</h2> -->
+  
+  <!-- <p>The fastest way to get started with docs-as-code with a web browser, internet connection, and GitHub account: </p> -->
+  <ol>
+    <li>Create a GitHub account at <a href="https://github.com">github.com</a>. Refer to <a href="https://justwriteclick.com/2019/01/14/github-pro-account-or-github-free-account-for-technical-writing/">GitHub Pro Account or GitHub Free Account for Technical Writing</a> if you're wondering which pricing plan makes sense for you. Free is likely fine!</li>
+    <li>In your browser, create a repository with the same name as your GitHub username, followed by "github.io". 
+      For example, my repository name is "annegentle.github.io".</li>
+    <li>On the repository's main page, on the Code tab, click <em>Add file</em> > <em>Create new file</em>.

+    </li>
+    <li>In the <em>Name your file...</em> field, enter "index.md" and under <em>Edit new file</em>, add a line or two of text that you want to publish as your new web landing page.
+      <p><img src="images/quickstart/edit-new-file.png" alt="GitHub Edit new file" hspace="20" vspace="20" width="400"/></p></li>
+    <li>Add a message if you like, and click <em>Commit new file</em>.
+      <p><img src="images/quickstart/commit-new-file.png" alt="GitHub Commit new file" hspace="20" vspace="20" width="500"/></p></li>
+    <li>Wait just a few seconds, then go to your new page, https://username.github.io. For an example, go to <a href="https://annegentle.github.io">annegentle.github.io</a>.
+      <li>If you don't see a page, check the settings for GitHub Pages by going to the <em>Settings</em> tab for the repository, and then click <em>Pages</em> in the left-hand side. The Settings should look similar to these:
+      <p><img src="images/quickstart/github-pages-settings.png" alt="GitHub repository Settings then Pages sidebar" hspace="20" vspace="20" width="800"/></li>
+        <li>Go to <a href="https://pages.github.com">pages.github.com</a> for even more scenarios. <p>That exercise gives you a taste of using GitHub as a content management system and publishing to a single web page automatically by pushing to a branch. Learn more by exploring the rest of this site.</p></li>
