+To serve the site locally, first install Zola: (takes a couple minutes)
 
-```console
-$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org
-$ cd blog.rust-lang.org
-$ cargo run
+```sh
+# using a fork because we rely on a few patches that haven't landed yet
+cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/senekor/zola --rev 620bf3c46a39b41db30b1e91756a995bbff84d3a

-You could do it in release mode if you'd like, but it's pretty fast in debug.

-From there, the generated HTML will be in a `public` directory.
-Open `public/index.html` in your web browser to view the site.
-
-```console
-$ firefox public/index.html
-```

-You can also run a server, if you need to preview your changes on a different machine:
-
-```console
-$ cargo run -p serve
-Serving on: http://192.168.123.45:8000
-```
+Now run `zola serve --open`.
+The site will be reloaded automatically when you make any changes.
