+Read the Docs Sphinx Theme
+**************************
+
+This is a prototype mobile-friendly sphinx theme I made for _readthedocs.org. It's 
+currently in development and includes some rtd variable checks that can be ignored 
+if you're just tyring to use it on your project outside of that site.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+Symlink the ``sphinx_rtd_theme/sphinx_rtd_theme`` repository into your documentation at 
+``docs/_themes/sphinx_rtd_theme`` then add the following two settings to your Sphinx 
+conf.py file:
+
+.. code-block:: 
+
+    html_theme = "sphinx_rtd_theme"
+    html_theme_path = ["_themes", ]
+
+Contributing or modifying the theme
+===================================
+
+To work on this theme you'll need to install _bower. Then simply run a ``bower install`` in the
+root directory to install the dependencies. Once installed, make your sass changes to the 
+``sphix_rtd_theme/sass`` directory, making sure to use _compass to compile down to css.
+
+If you'd like to see your changes made to master, send me a pull request.
