+title: Introducing Poole
+---
+
+*The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde* tells the story of a lawyer investigating the connection of two persons, Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde. Chief among the novel's supporting cast is a man by the name of Mr. Poole, Dr. Jekyll's loyal butler.
+
+-----
+
+Poole is the butler for [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com), the static site generator. It's designed and developed by [@mdo](https://twitter.com/mdo) to provide a clear and concise foundational setup for any Jekyll site. It does so by furnishing a full vanilla Jekyll install with example templates, pages, posts, and styles.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+There are currently two themes built on Poole:
+
+* [Hyde](http://hyde.getpoole.com)
+* [Lanyon](http://lanyon.getpoole.com)

+
+### What's included
+
+Poole is a streamlined Jekyll site designed and built as a foundation for building more meaningful themes. Poole, and every theme built on it, includes the following:
+
+* Complete Jekyll setup included (layouts, config, [404]({{ site.baseurl }}/404.html), [RSS feed]({{ site.baseurl }}/atom.xml), posts, and [example page]({{ site.baseurl }}/about))
+* Mobile friendly design and development
+* Easily scalable text and component sizing with `rem` units in the CSS
+* Support for a wide gamut of HTML elements
+* Related posts (time-based, because Jekyll) below each post
+* Syntax highlighting, courtesy Pygments (the Python-based code snippet highlighter)
+
+Additional features are available in individual themes.
+
+### Browser support
+
+Poole and its themes are by preference a forward-thinking project. In addition to the latest versions of Chrome, Safari (mobile and desktop), and Firefox, it is only compatible with Internet Explorer 9 and above.
+
+### Download
+
+Poole is developed on and hosted with GitHub. Head to the <a href="https://github.com/poole/poole">GitHub repository</a> for downloads, bug reports, and features requests.
+
+Thanks!
