Some thoughts on page sizes and layout. Many people that are looking for help will probably be using two browsers so that they can see what they are reading for help as well as the thing they want help on. I'd guess that they will use a browser size around about 800 pixels tall (based on a 17/19

I'd put more links up top from the Beginners Guide. There's a ton of pages linked from there which are very useful, and not just to beginners. Often We should look at what people typically ask about and make sure those links are obvious on the front page. Off the top of my head that would be
