			Thanks for the help Ash! Your layout is such an improvement. I'll go back and read more on the "tutorial" and "how to" pages this week. I'm getting the hang of this slowly:-)

			Hope to stop down in Austin some time before Christmas. Maybe I'll run into you then.

	We must discuss your article naming practices. At the moment, they aren't making much sense. For example, you have article [[Setting]]...that obviously refers to the setting of a book called "The Great God Pan". Here is what I recommend: title the main article "The Great God Pan (book)", and include sections in that article such as "Setting," "Plot Summary", etc. These should not be articles in and of themselves.

			'''Update 2:''' I apologize for being unclear. What we need is one article called [[The Great God Pan (book)]]. Within that one article should be sections such as "Summary", "Characters", etc. I have already added those sections to the page, so all you have to do is add content. Thank you. [[User:Ash\|Fr.

			'''Update:''' Okay. I've moved the article to [[The Great God Pan (book)]], and edited it to have the links be sections. Please move the contents of those articles over to the main page, and I'll delete the stray articles.

			93,

			Thanks for the tips. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find a wiki editor that allows me to see the results before publishing would you (FrontPage for wiki)? I'd keep everything off line until finished, but I have a hard time knowing what my code will look like when finished since I'm picking this up by trial and error and example. I know there is the preview button. But I have a hard time overcoming the urge to save after after looking for the out-of-place perentheses for 20 minutes. The fact that this language sees white space makes it hard to write in an easily readable manner.

			The list I've created is from Appendix 1 of Book 4. Your right. Section 2 is a pretty non-descript name (I'm also organizing as I go along). How do I change a page name?

			By the way, I assume I edit talk to get back with you. How would I initiate usertalk?

			TS

			:I’m sorry but I only use windows when I have to so I can't really suggest software. But if you use firebird for a web browser, there is a wiki extension that gives you formatting buttons. For bold all you have to do is select what you want to be bold and click the button. And so on for the other markups.

			:As far as the urge to save… well… might I suggest Liber Jugorum ;-)

			:To get to anyone’s talk page just click on their name then click on the Discussion link right next to the edit link. This is also how you get to the talk page of any article if you have a comment to make. When you do this make sure to sign your post with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> the software with convert it to your username linked to your user page so they know who is talking to them.

			BTW I moved this to your "real" userpage. I made a mistake with the last one. oops!

			93!

			I just wanted to say good job jumping in and helping Thelemapedia grow! But I have a few suggestions.

			On [[Literature Recommended to Aspirants]] for example, it needs some intro information (who what where when why how) Remember the reader might not know a thing about Thelema and comes to Thelemapedia to find information. (the same goes for [[Section 2]])

			Another thing, try not to make a ton of small edits on the same page. If you just want to see if you got it looking how you want please use the preview button. Another way you could do it is using an editor on your computer (notepad, word etc.) that way you can save the article on your computer until you have a major change. Don’t get me wrong if you see a page that only needs a small edit go ahead and edit.

			If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Anyway keep up the good work!

			93 93/93
