I tried to simplify the readme page a bit.  I also added some new links to some helper videos and added some screenshots of the whitelist editor.

+
+## Technical Details
+
+The Pi-hole is an **advertising-aware DNS/Web server**.  If an ad domain is queried, a small Web page or GIF is delivered in place of the advertisement.  You can also [replace ads with any image you want](http://pi-hole.net/faq/is-it-possible-to-change-the-blank-page-that-takes-place-of-the-ads-to-something-else/) since it is just a simple Webpage taking place of the ads.
+
+### Gravity
+The [gravity.sh](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/gravity.sh) does most of the magic.  The script pulls in ad domains from many sources and compiles them into a single list of [over 1.6 million entries](http://jacobsalmela.com/block-millions-ads-network-wide-with-a-raspberry-pi-hole-2-0) (if you decide to use the [mahakala list](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/commit/963eacfe0537a7abddf30441c754c67ca1e40965)).
+
+## Web Interface
+The [Web interface](https://github.com/jacobsalmela/AdminLTE#pi-hole-admin-dashboard) will be installed automatically so you can view stats and change settings.  You can find it at:
+
+`http://192.168.1.x/admin/index.php` or `http://pi.hole/admin`
+
+![Pi-hole Advanced Stats Dashboard](http://i.imgur.com/CQlEnDy.png)
+
+### Whitelist and blacklist
+
+Domains can be whitelisted and blacklisted using two pre-installed scripts. See [the wiki page](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/wiki/Whitelisting-and-Blacklisting) for more details
+![Whitelist editor in the Web interface](http://i.imgur.com/Anj1GzO.png)
+
+## API
+
+A basic read-only API can be accessed at `/admin/api.php`. It returns the following JSON:
+```JSON
+{
+	"domains_being_blocked": "136708",
+	"dns_queries_today": "18108",
+	"ads_blocked_today": "14648",
+	"ads_percentage_today": "80.89"
+}
+```
+The same output can be acheived on the CLI by running `chronometer.sh -j`
+
+## Real-time Statistics
+
+You can view [real-time stats](http://pi-hole.net/faq/install-the-real-time-lcd-monitor-chronometer/) via `ssh` or on an [2.8" LCD screen](http://amzn.to/1P0q1Fj).  This is accomplished via [`chronometer.sh`](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/advanced/Scripts/chronometer.sh).

 ## Other Operating Systems
 This script will work for other UNIX-like systems with some slight **modifications**.  As long as you can install `dnsmasq` and a Webserver, it should work OK.  The automated install is only for a clean install of a Debian based system, such as the Raspberry Pi.
