Your website is now automatically published under *your_username.github.io/your_username/*. Except that it probably still looks like our website.

To modify the webpage, you can either do everything on on github.com (go to a file, click "edit", then "commit", "push"), or install [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com) on your computer and play with your local copy that you sync with the branch on github.com.

Also, consider using the [Github desktop app](http://www.desktop.github.com), I found it helpful.
