For now Netlify provides you with its own subdomain at ``subdomain.netlify.app`` but you can change it by presssing ``Change site name``.  
+Back to GitHub, remember `metadata.json`? You'll need to fill that in now to customise the template to match you.

+Make sure to commit your changes and then netlify should automatically rebuild your site. It shouldn't take more than a minute to do so.  
+You can add an about me page by editing ``/about/index.md``. Leave the stuff surrounded by.
