Updated the instructions to reflect building before starting
Updated this in a previous pull request but the way I phrased it was a little bit off. 

This provides the instructions that you must BUILD before STARTING the server for it to actually reflect the changes made.

# Configure your own spee.ch
_note: this guide assumes you have done the [quickstart](https://github.com/lbryio/spee.ch/blob/readme-update/README.md) or [fullstart](https://github.com/lbryio/spee.ch/blob/readme-update/fullstart.md) guide and have a working spee.ch server_
## Custom Components
The components used by spee.ch are taken from the `client/` folder, but you can override those components by defining your own in the `site/custom/` folder.
### Add a new custom Logo component.
To create your own custom component to override the defaults, create a folder and an `index.jsx` file for the component in the `site/custom/src/components/` folder.
```
$ cd site/custom/src/components/
$ mkdir Logo
$ cd Logo
$ touch index.jsx
$ nano index.jsx
```
Create a simple react component in `index.jsx`.
```
import React from 'react';
function Logo () {
return (
<p>My Logo</p>
);
};
export default Logo;
```
Rebuild and restart the server, and you should see your site with a new Logo in the top left corner!
```
$ npm run build
```
Then
```
$ npm run start
```
