-A simple little tent to print off on a quarter of a Letter paper sheet for Mechanical Keyboard Meetups.
+A simple little tent to print off on half of a Letter paper sheet (or whatever you want) for Mechanical Keyboard Meetups.
 
-![example](example.png)
+![an example with only placeholder text](example.png)
 
-Some printing programs don't play nice and have to have all 4 pages to make it a quarter sheet sized thing. Just repeat the `\table` command as many times as needed to do that.
+`hell` branch has an example if you want more
+
+"hey this is kinda hard, I have to install this whole other program and stuff??"
+yeah, well my purpose in life is to curse others with knowledge of typesetting. Do I have the skillz/hardware/time to make it some kind of decent, if not super nice, site? probably. But that's not as fun to me.
