Thanks for the welcome.
--25akk (talk) 14:15, 14 November 2014 (UTC)I must admit, however, that there appear to be a lot of intimidating help pages, instructions, information sheets, etc. for new users. I am not exactly a beginning computer user, but it still seems more than a bit off-putting to me.

Has anyone investigated the possibility of a simple teaching video - that newcomers like me could view to get started? Or better yet the possibility of a Skype contact to ask questions.

I have managed to make a start in the simplest way possible - validating. But I still have quite a few questions that I would like to ask, never mind if I were to try something more daunting - like proof-reading.
