Ok, I've changed it to "Otherwise, stop reading Help Pages and get exploring!" I'm not going to make any more changes to that line as it's starting to remind me of a certain part of a certain book:

"And the wheel," said the Captain, "What about this wheel thingy? It sounds a terribly interesting project."
"Ah," said the marketing girl, "Well, we're having a little difficulty there."
"Difficulty?" exclaimed Ford. "Difficulty? What do you mean, difficulty? It's the single simplest machine in the entire Universe!"
The marketing girl soured him with a look.
"Alright, Mr Wiseguy," she said, "you're so clever, you tell us what colour it should be."

I think this is a brilliant guide entry and I have only a few things to suggest.

I am sure this will soon be an edited guide entry so the editor will notice any spelling or something but in the bullet points at the beginning I don't think there is a need for the first point to end in a comma and the last point to end in a full stop but I will let you decide.

In the your personal space paragraph it would make more sense if you said exactly where the my space link is and the same in the your preferences paragraph say exactly where the my preferences link is.

I don't mind whatever you do about the last sentence but I was wondering if it would sound better with start exploring but as I say it sounds fine as it is.

I agree that it should be a help page because I am sure it would be a lot of help to new comers.

The page is no longer editable as it's become a quasi Help Page - <./>ThingsYouCanDo</.>

I'm not too worried about the things you mention, and I should note that the My Space and Preferences buttons are in different places depending on the skin you use. smiley - ok

smiley - cheers
