+To complete this showcase:
+
+1. Write the story about your site in this file.
+2. Add a summary to the `bio.md` file in this folder.
+3. Replace the `featured-template.png` with a screenshot of your site. You can rename it, but it must contain the word `featured`.
+4. Create a new pull request in https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs/pulls
+
+The content of this bundle explained:
+
+index.md
+: The main content file. Fill in required front matter metadata and write your story. I does not have to be a novel. It can even be self-promotional, but it should include Hugo in some form.
+
+bio.md
+: A short summary of the website. Site credits (who built it) fits nicely here.
+
+featured.png
+: A reasonably sized screenshot of your website. It can be named anything, but the name must start with "featured". The sample image is `1500x750` (2:1 aspect ratio).

 We would really appreciate if you could:
 
 1. Fork https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs
-1. Create a copy of the [content/showcase/template](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs/tree/master/content/showcase/template) directory with a suitable name. If you now run `hugo server`, your site should show up in [http://localhost:1313/showcase/](http://localhost:1313/showcase/) and on the front page.
-2. Adjust the [files](#files) and write a story about your site
+2. Run `hugo new showcase/your-site` (this requires >= Hugo 0.49). This will use the archetype bundle in the [docs repo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs/tree/master/archetypes).
+3. Follow the instructions in the newly created page bundle. 
 3. Create a new pull request in https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs/pulls
 
-**Note:** The Showcase section uses the latest bells and whistles from Hugo, [resources](/content-management/page-resources/) with [image processing](/content-management/image-processing/), so you need a reasonable up-to-date [Hugo version](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases).

 [^1]: We want this to show Hugo in its best light, so this is not for the average Hugo blog. In most cases the answer to "Is my site [notabable](http://www.dictionary.com/browse/notable)?" will be obvious, but if in doubt, create an [issue](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs/issues) with a link and some words, and we can discuss it. But if you have a site with an interesting Hugo story or a company site where the company itself is notable, you are most welcome.
