--- INSTALLATION --------------------------------------------------------

1. have a working version of CiviCRM installed on your Drupal site

2. Download the latest version of the SimplyCivi theme:

	http://github.com/kylejaster/SimplyCivi/zipball/master

	Place it in you sites/all/themes directory (you may wish to rename the 
    directory to "SimplyCivi" - github adds a silly name) and enable it at 
    admin/build/themes
    
    ALTERNATE OPTION: clone the SimplyCivi project into your 
    sites/all/themes directory with this command:
    git clone git@github.com:kylejaster/SimplyCivi.git

3. Download, install and enable the civicrm_theme module:

	http://drupal.org/project/civicrm_theme

4. Visit the Admin Theme configuration page at: admin/settings/admin
	
	Configure the "CiviCRM Administration Theme" to use "SimplyCivi"

5. Configure your CiviCRM blocks for the SimplyCivi theme at: 
	
	admin/build/block/list/SimplyCivi

	There are regions for many of the blocks CiviCRM provides, simply match 
	the blocks to the regions (place "CiviCRM full text search" into the 
	"Header" region)

	Additional blocks may be put into the Left and Right sidebars - these 
	are hidden by default, but show tabs on the left and right sides of 
	the screen when enabled.

    Once you have configured your blocks, you are done! 
    
    Visit yoursite.org/civicrm/dashboard?reset=1 and 
    enjoy your clean new CiviCRM admin theme.
