@@ -9,18 +9,9 @@ A simple tool to help make it easier to turn your tweet rants into real blog pos
 Requires `TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY` and `TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET`, both of which you can only get if you have a registered developer account and an application created for twitter.
 
 ```
-Usage: twit2blog [opts]
-
-Options:
-  -u, --user   The screen name of the twitter user. E.g. If your twitter is https://twitter.com/foobar, then `foobar`.
-  -t, --thread The ID of the last tweet in your thread. E.g. 12345.
-
-For more information read the Github readme:
-  https://github.com/weskerfoot/Twit2Blog#readme
+./twit2blog
 ```
 
-Example: `twit2blog -t:1234 -u:alice | pandoc --from=markdown --to=html > thread.html`
-
 You must provide the ID of the *last* tweet from the thread you want rendered. E.g. [https://twitter.com/weskerfoot/status/1199466868953759750](https://twitter.com/weskerfoot/status/1199466868953759750) is the last tweet in one of my threads. The reason for this is that the twitter API does not provide an easy way to search for replies to a given tweet.
 
-You can see the output generated from it [here](https://wesk.tech/tweet_example.html)
+Example: `http://localhost:8080/thread/weskerfoot/status/1221552400852451329`
