-## Getting Started
+🏷️ Utilize Lanyard in your GitHub Profile
 
-First, run the development server:
+_Special thanks to [@Phineas](github.com/Phineas/) for creating Lanyard, and making this project possible_
 
-```bash
-npm run dev
-# or
-yarn dev
+## Usage
+
+_(Make sure you're in the Lanyard [Discord](discord.gg/wscam7vngf) for this to work!_
+
+In a `README.md` file, include the following, replacing `:id` with your Discord user ID.
+
+```md
+[![Discord Presence](https://lanyard-profile-readme.vercel.app/api/:id)](https://discord.com/users/:id)
 ```
 
-Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
+It should display something similar the following (I am using my Discord user ID as an example):
 
-You can start editing the page by modifying `pages/index.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
+[![Discord Presence](https://lanyard-profile-readme.vercel.app/api/705665813994012695)](https://discord.com/users/705665813994012695)
 
-[API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) can be accessed on [http://localhost:3000/api/hello](http://localhost:3000/api/hello). This endpoint can be edited in `pages/api/hello.tsx`.
+## Options (wip)
 
-The `pages/api` directory is mapped to `/api/*`. Files in this directory are treated as [API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) instead of React pages.
+There are a few options to customize this display using query parameters:
 
-## Learn More
+### ___Theme___
 
-To learn more about Next.js, take a look at the following resources:
+Append the query param `theme=:theme` to the end of the URL, replacing `:theme` with either `light` or `dark`. This will change the background and the font colors, but the background can be overridden with the ___Background Color___ parameter.

-- [Learn Next.js](https://nextjs.org/learn) - an interactive Next.js tutorial.
+### ___Background Color___
 
-You can check out [the Next.js GitHub repository](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/) - your feedback and contributions are welcome!
+Append the query param `bg=:color` to the end of the URL, replacing `:color` with a hex color of your choice (omit the #)
 
-## Deploy on Vercel
+### ___Toggle Animated Avatar___
 
-The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the [Vercel Platform](https://vercel.com/new?utm_medium=default-template&filter=next.js&utm_source=create-next-app&utm_campaign=create-next-app-readme) from the creators of Next.js.
-
-Check out our [Next.js deployment documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment) for more details.
+If you have an animated avatar, append the query param `animated=:bool` to the end of the URL, replacing `:bool` with `true` or `false`. This is set to `true` by default.
