This type of detailed step by step explanation is extremely helpful for those who are brand new to using scripts on a website. This is old hat to many and perhaps they will think - what a dummified tutorial about such a simple thing this is. People so often forget what it's like to be so brand new to something it's hard to comprehend without even the basics explained step by step.
A few years ago I was trying to help out a highly educated but older relative who had bought her first computer and called on the phone with some problem. Almost immediately she got confused and couldn't follow my (what I thought were) simple instructions. I was floored that my extremely intelligent relative couldn't understand and follow my simple directions. But what my directions weren't taking into account was that she was so brand new to it all that she was lost when I said right click and go to properties or when I said copy and past xzy to abc - things that were so second nature to me it just didn't occur to me she may not understand how to do them. When I finally understood she couldn't follow my directions because I hadn't started out with totally basic step by step instructions I started over and we solved her immediate problems. That older relative is quite computer savvy today.
Anyway, a big thank you to Nick for understanding the concept of teaching something brand new when it's a "foreign language" to you. Kudos Nick. :-)
