Cool, I've made it live and have blogged asking for feedback. > Visually, it would be clearer if there was more indenting so that the > major and minor steps stood out to the left.

Do the frames on the screen shots not help? If not, I'll shrink the the screen shots a tad, as you suggested. > The tip re junk branches is a distraction, not a tip. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll make these changes. -- Matthew Revell - Launchpad.net - free software collaboration and project hosting _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
