Good idea! I already felt the need for it with the few tutorials up there.

I agree. I am going to write a guide to the LDraw.org HTML format, citing
certain tags that are useable and others that we ask not be used.

I agree here - except I have not defined any classes for <h1 - 6> yet, so for
now they are not to be used on the site. Once I've gotten the mountain of pages
in my inbox formatted, I'll revisit that.

SSI is how its set up now. I can rearrange this per some suggestions of Steve's
to make managing the Tutorials section (and any other section we are likely to
have a lot of outside submissions for) easier.

Yes.

That would be me.
