Hi Ken, Yeah, what he said! (He being Dan). Here are my two cents:

The idea of a bus is to group common signals. Where it makes sense to have groups of signals, you should use a bus. Where it doesn't make sense, you shouldn't. For example, the crystal oscillator has two pins and a crystal and some caps. It doesn't need a bus. Or the rest line. An edge case is the UART - it's only two lines. I usually don't bother with a bus for this, but you could if you wanted to. > Can I make the schematic bigger, or is it already a standard size? I think you can make it bigger - you need to change the frame to a different one. Anyone know how to do this? I've never tried. > (I have not been able to get EAGLE to let me make a new sheet yet.) Yeah, it's time to deal with that problem. Perhaps we'll move to the nonprofit version of EAGLE on Friday - we'll make that a discussion point. We want to do 4 layers anyway...
