:::Yesterday I was in the middle of changing the last section to get rid of some of the bullets when my computer at work would not let me save and things slowed - w a y down. So, I agree with that change. I also took out some of the bullets in the middle section (but kept the bold heading words). Thanks for the input. --[[User:Kay T|Kay T]] 10:51, 15 September 2007 (PDT)

Is there a reason you are using these particular levels of headings (3= and 4=)? Using a 2= will give you horizontal lines separating the sections which I think makes it easier to read. --Kay T 18:19, 11 September 2007 (PDT)

I dislike the horizontal lines. But I can change for readability. The wiki pages I copied from had 3 as the default, IIRC and so I went from there. --DawnBurn 19:08, 11 September 2007 (PDT)

Edit

Dawn, I broke the sections into bulleted steps. I was not sure where this step fit in since I did not see the option in my limited exploration of the screens:

You must also check the box affirming that you are not violating any copyrights by uploading the file.

Where is this box? Do you want to move this to the Help domain, or shall I? --Kay T 10:54, 13 September 2007 (PDT)
