+Configuration File:
+    The default configuration file is in YAML format, chosen for
+its clarity and its support of commenting (unlike JSON). It may
+be placed in any of the following locations by default:
+
+    The same directory as the getwtxt executable
+    /usr/local/getwtxt/
+    /etc/
+    /usr/local/etc/
+
+    The paths are searched in that order. The first configuration
+file found is used by getwtxt, while the locations further down
+are ignored.
+    
+    Multiple configuration files may be used, however, with the
+'-c' command line flag. The path passed to getwtxt via '-c' may
+be relative or absolute. For example, both of the following are
+allowed:
+
+    ./getwtxt -c myconfig.json
+    ./getwtxt -c /etc/ExtraConfigsDir/mysecondconfig.toml
+
+The supported configuration types are:
+    YAML, TOML, JSON, HCL
+
+    The configuration file contains several options used to
+customize your instance of getwtxt. None are required, they will 
+simply use their default value unless otherwise specified.
+
+    ListenPort: Defines the port getwtxt should bind to.
+        Default: 9001
+
+    DatabasePath: The location of the LevelDB structure
+        used by getwtxt to back up registry data. This
+        can be a relative or absolute path.
+                Default: getwtxt.db
+
+    StdoutLogging: Boolean used to determine whether
+        getwtxt should send logging output to stdout.
+        This is useful for debugging, but you should
+        probably save your logs once your instance 
+        is running.
+        Default: false
+
+    LogFile: The location of getwtxt's log file. This,
+        like DatabasePath, can be relative or absolute.
+        Default: getwtxt.log
+
+    DatabasePushInterval: The interval on which getwtxt
+        will push registry data from the in-memory cache
+        to the on-disk LevelDB database. The following
+        time suffixes may be used:
+            ns, us, ms, s, m, h
+        Default: 5m
+
+    StatusFetchInterval: The interval on which getwtxt
+        will crawl all users' twtxt files to retrieve
+        new statuses. The same time suffixes as
+        DatabasePushInterval may be used.
+        Default: 1h
+
+    Instance: Signifies the start of instance-specific
+        meta information. The following are used only
+        for the summary and use information displayed
+        by the default web page for getwtxt. If desired,
+        the assets/tmpl/index.html file may be
+        customized. Keep in mind that in YAML, the
+        following options must be preceded by two spaces
+        so that they are interpreted as sub-options.
+
+    SiteName: The name of your getwtxt instance.
+        Default: getwtxt
+
+    URL: The publicly-accessible URL of your 
+        getwtxt instance.
+        Default: https://twtxt.example.com
+
+    OwnerName: Your name.
+        Default: Anonymous Microblogger 
+
+    Email: Your email address.
+        Default: nobody@knows
+
+    Description: A short description of your getwtxt
+        instance or your site. As this likely includes
+        whitespace, it should be in double-quotes.
+        This can include XHTML or HTML line breaks if 
+        desired: 
+            <br />
+            <br>
+        Default: "A fast, resilient twtxt registry
+            server written in Go!"
