+    <h1>What are bitcoins?</h1>
+    <p>
+    Bitcoins are units of digital currency that can be 
+    transferred over the Internet.
+    They get sent to a bitcoin address and stored in a digital wallet 
+    that you can access with a 
+    password. Creating and using a new wallet and address is free and as
+    easy as email -- <a href="https://blockchain.info/wallet/new">try it</a>.
+    </p>
+    
+    <p>
+    Transactions between bitcoin addresses are 
+    recorded in a public file and <a href="http://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions">published on 
+    the Internet</a>.  This file, or "block chain", keeps track of what amounts are 
+    stored at what addresses.
+    </p>
+    
+    About every 10 minutes, 50 new bitcoins are 
+    generated by a mathematical algorithm and distributed to people who 
+    contribute computing power to the network. The 
+    <a href="http://bitcoin.org">software to participate in the network</a> is free and open source so anyone can run it on their computer.
+    </p>
 
-    <div></div>
+    <p>
+    Over time, fewer and fewer 
+    bitcoins will be created until there are a total of 
+    21 million of them in circulation by the year 2040. Each bitcoin 
+    is divisible up to 8 decimal places, making 
+    it possible to transact very small portions of them.
+    </p>
+  </div>
+  <div class="span6">
+    <h1>Why use them?</h1>
+    <p>
+    They're free, fast, secure, and global.  Merchants 
+    don't get charged for accepting them and you don't 
+    get charged for transferring them, even 
+    internationally. There are no fees, prerequisites, or 
+    limits. You can register addresses anonymously and 
+    create as many accounts as you like. They can 
+    never be frozen because no central authority 
+    controls them. Whether you're sending a fraction of 
+    a cent or a million dollars, the network doesn't 
+    discriminate.
+    </p>
+    
+    <p>
+    You can use bitcoins to securely store 
+    and backup your savings and gain access to them 
+    from anywhere that has Internet access. They tend to 
+    appreciate in value over time because of their 
+    limited supply so they make a good investment. 
+    Unlike dollars and other national currencies, no 
+    government or issuing authority can print more of 
+    them.
