+*******************
+Using Read the Docs
+*******************
+
+`Read the Docs <https://readthedocs.org/>`_ is a website that "simplifies software documentation by automating building, versioning, and hosting of your docs for you". Essentially, it accesses your Github repo to generate the **index.html** file, and then displays it on its own *Read the Docs* webpage so others can view your documentation. 
+
+Create an account on *Read the Docs* if you haven't already.
+
+Go to your `dashboard <https://readthedocs.org/dashboard/>`_ , and click on "Import a Project".

+
+   This will bring you to a page where you can choose to import a repo from your Github account (only if you've linked your Github account to your Read the Docs account), or to import a repo manually. In this example, we'll do it manually. Click "Import Manually".
+

+|
+|
+|
+|
+|
+
+
+
+This will bring you to a page that asks for your repo details. Set "Name" to your forked repo name, or whatever you want. Set "Repository URL" to the URL of your forked repo (https://github.com/YOURUSERNAME/vpp-docs). "Repository type" should already be selected to "Git". Then click "Next".

+
+
+This will bring you to a project page of your repo on Read the Docs. You can confirm it's the correct repo by checking on the right side of the page the Repository URL.
+
+Then click on "Build Version".

+
+Which takes you to another page showing your recent builds. 
+
+Then click on "Build Version:". This should "Trigger" a build. After about a minute or so you can refresh the page and see that your build "Passed".

+
+
+Now on your builds page from the previous image, you can click "View Docs" at the top-right, which will take you a *readthedocs.io* page of your generated build!
