 # Basics
 # Basics
+Creating your own content for Pico is *easy*.
 
 
-Coming soon!
+Inside the root Pico folder, all *themes* reside in the `themes` directory,
+and all *plugins* in the `plugins` directory. (As a developer, you may have
+changed these paths and/or directory names when you initialized Pico.)

+#Pico Core
+
+It's generally not a good idea to make modifications to the core of Pico. If you
+are looking to add or change functionality, can it be accomplished with a plugin?
+If not, and you are interested in helping to develop the Pico core, [fork us on GitHub](https://github.com/picocms/Pico)!

+#Plugins
+At the heart of customizing Pico is a plugin. You can 'hook-in' to the Pico
+engine at many different times during the rendering of your site and its content.
+You will find a full example template in `plugins/DummyPlugin.php` to get you
+started on building some great stuff. Otherwise, keep reading to learn how to
+create your first plugin!
+
+Officially tested plugins can be found at http://pico.dev7studios.com/plugins,
+but there are many awesome third-party plugins out there! A good start point
+for discovery is our [Wiki](#plugin-wiki).
+
+#Migrating from 0.X -> 1.0
+The new event system supports plugin dependencies as well as some new events.
+You will be able to set an enabled/disabled state by default as well. If you
+have previously cerated a plugin for Pico, it is *HIGHLY* recommended that you
+update your class to extend from `AbstractPicoPlugin` and use the new events
+to avoid activating the `PicoDeprecated` plugin.

+#Your First Plugin
+
+## 1. To get started, navigate to your `plugins` directory
+![Step1](style/images/docs/pico_plugins.jpg)
+
+---
+
+## 2. Create a new folder and name it your desired name using CammelCase
+![Step2](style/images/docs/pico_plugins_myplugin.jpg)
+
+> *Note:* It's not necessary to create the folder, if you do not have assets to
+> include, you can simply skip this step and continue to Step 3
+
+---
+
+## 3. Next, you should copy `DummyPlugin.php` inside your newly created folder and give it the same name as you did the folder
+![Step3](style/images/docs/pico_plugins_myplugin_php.jpg)
+
+---
+
+## 4. You will need to name the `class` the same as the `folder` and the `.php` file
+![Step4](style/images/docs/pico_plugins_myplugin_php_class.jpg)
+
+---
+
+## 5. From here, you will be able to hook-in to Pico's processing
+Choose an event that makes sense for your situation. Do you need to load configuration values?
+`onConfigLoaded`. You need to modify the content of the page before it is
+rendered by markdown? `onPageRendering`. Etc... Plugin developers shouldn't
+manipulate data in "wrong" events, this could lead to unexpected behavior.
+
+> *Note:* Don't forget to set your plugins enabled/disabled state, either by default or
+> through your sites `config/config.php` file.
