+* Append the following lines:
+
+    ```cson
+      'notational-velocity':
+        directory: '/path/to/your/notes'
+    ```
+
+The first line should be indented by one step from `*` at the top. If you've
+kept the default indentation of two spaces, the block above should paste in
+properly.
+
+Double-quotes also work.
