 Much more than a hint, the actual procedure .
It worked fine and increased the size to 4GB
I then put the SD Card back into the PC and used Win32 Disk Imager to read 
the image in for backup
that way I can mess it up and get back to where I was without having to 
rebuild everything that was working.

I installed Adafruit GPIO and this time it had no issues and tested by 
running Blinky.py and it
blinks an LED on P8_8 .

Thank' for the info
I bookmarked your FAQ link for future reference
