+provides a script, nnote, to quickly make notes in a simple hierarchy
+provides four quick aliases: dnote, mnote, ynote, gnote
 
 installation
 ----
-set $NOTESDIR or use ~/Notes
+optionally, set $NOTESDIR.
-clone this repo to ~NOTESDIR/bin
+if you don't do this, nnote will use ~/Notes
-symlink dnote, mnote, ynote, gnote to your path like
 
-$ ln -s "$NOTESDIR/bin/dnote" "$HOME/.bin/dnote"
+then, install the scripts
+option 1: clone this repo to ~$NOTESDIR/bin
+          then symlink dnote, mnote, ynote, gnote to your PATH like
+
+            $ ln -s "$NOTESDIR/bin/dnote" "$HOME/.bin/dnote"
+
+option 2: clone this repo (wherever you like) and either
+          a) add that directory to your PATH, or
+          b) copy or symlink these scripts into your PATH
 
 usage
 ----
 
-use dnote for daily notes, mnote for monthly, ynote for yearly, gnote for global
+when you call nnote, you give it a note type (daily/monthly/yearly/global)
+and, optionally, a note name, which can include spaces with or without quoting.
+
+nnote will:
+- create the appropriate note directory,
+- make the note if it doesn't exist,
+- cd into $NOTESDIR so your CtrlP.vim or whatever will work,
+- and then open the note in $EDITOR
+
+when the editor closes it'll cd back to where you were.
+
+aliases are provided:
+- dnote for daily notes
+- mnote for monthly
+- ynote for yearly
+- gnote for global
+
 you can enter different names but by default those are the note names too
 the file hierarchy is very simple, for instance:
 - $NOTESDIR
