 # SkyJot
 SkyJot Bukkit plugin
+
+## Description
+SkyJot is a Bukkit Minecraft plugin for writing block letters in the sky.  It was inspired by the (seemingly) unmaintained plugin called "SkyText".
+
+### Usage
+/skyjot write [ b:blockType ] [ j:left | center | right ] <x> <y> <z> Text...  
+/skyjot undo
+
+### Notes
+*  Newlines can be embedded with \n
+*  Text direction is determined by the direction you are facing when you run the write command.  Text will be left-to-right from the perspective of the player.
+
+### Example
+/skyjot write b:17:2 ~ ~ ~ Hello\nWorld
\ No newline at end of file
