-h1. Configuration
+By default WTF looks in a `~/.wtf/` directory for a YAML file called
+`config.yml`. If `~/.wtf/` doesn't exist, WTF will create that directory
+on start-up, and then display instructions for creating the
+configuration file.
+
+## Config.yml
+
+## Example Config Files
+
+A few example config files are provided in the `_sample_configs/`
+directory of the Git repository. To try out WTF quickly, copy
+`simple_config.yml` into `~/.wtf/` as `config.yml` and relaunch WTF. You
+should see the app launch and display the _Security_ and _Status_
+modules.
+
+## Custom Configuration Files
+
+To load a custom configuration file (ie: one that's not
+`~/.wtf/config.yml`), pass in the path to configuration file as a
+parameter on launch:
+```bash
+    $> wtf --config=path/to/custom/config.yml
+```
+Example:
+```bash
+    %> wtf --config=~/Documents/monitoring.yml
+```
+
+This is also the easiest way to run multiple instances of WTF, should
+you want to run multiple independent dashboards.
