First Branch

This is my first attempt at a pull request. My understanding is that I am still working locally on this branch, and I'm asking you took look at what I've committed. The "Able to merge" icon to the right probably means that I can still merge this with the master, since there haven't been any other changes in the repository. My guess is that I will still be "able to merge" any changes with the master as long as neither of us commit another edit to the readme.md file that is the only one changed in the branch. Otherwise we are free to change other files.
