-## Getting Started
+## Getting Started: Your Free Subdomain
 
-- [Fork](https://github.com/ml-comm/ddns/fork) the ddns repository to your GitHub account
-- Create a new file under the `domains` directory.
-  - Name the file according to the sub-domain name that you would like, for example `my-project.json`.
+This guide explains how to get a free `*.ml-comm.ml` subdomain for your machine learning, data science, AI, or research project.
 
-    *The file path and name should look somewhat similar to this: `domains/my-project.json`*
-- Read the format documentation [here](FORMAT.md) to see what json format you should be following.
-- Check over your file to make sure that everything looks right and matches the format.
-- Open a Issue first via [here](https://github.com/ml-comm/ddns/issues/new?assignees=&labels=request&projects=&template=REQUEST.yml&title=%5BREQUEST%5D%3A+) to discuss the subdomain you want to register.
-- When your request is approved, open a pull request with the file you created.
-- Check up on your pull request. Sometimes we will comment or add a new label, these can mean that you domain is unavailable or something is wrong with the file. If this is the case, don't worry! You are still able to get a domain, but you may have to either change the file name or check over the file again.
-- Leave the rest down to us, we will make sure that the subdomain is sorted out.
-- Once your pull request has been merged, enjoy the subdomain. If you ever need to change the subdomain, don't hesitate to open a new pull request to change any of the details.
+**Steps:**
+
+1. **Fork the Repository:** Fork the [ddns repository](https://github.com/ml-comm/ddns/fork) to your GitHub account. This creates a copy you can edit.
+
+2. **Create a Configuration File:**
+   - In your forked repository, create a new JSON file inside the `domains` directory.
+   - Name the file after your desired subdomain (e.g., `my-project.json` for `my-project.ml-comm.ml`).  The full path would be `domains/my-project.json`.
+   - **Important:**  See the [format documentation](FORMAT.md) for the required JSON structure.  Double-check your file for accuracy.
+
+3. **Request Your Subdomain:** Open an issue on the main ddns repository using the [request template](https://github.com/ml-comm/ddns/issues/new?assignees=&labels=request&projects=&template=REQUEST.yml&title=%5BREQUEST%5D%3A+).  Discuss your desired subdomain and any specific needs.  This allows us to review and approve your request.
+
+4. **Submit a Pull Request:** Once your request is approved, create a pull request from your forked repository to the main `ddns` repository, including your newly created JSON file.
+
+5. **Review and Adjustments:**  We may review your pull request and leave comments or labels if there are any issues (e.g., unavailable subdomain, formatting problems).  Please address these and update your pull request as needed.
+
+6. **Subdomain Activation:**  We'll merge your pull request once everything is in order and activate your subdomain.
+
+7. **Managing Your Subdomain:** You can update your subdomain settings at any time by submitting a new pull request with the modified JSON file.
