I will correct any titles I changed; the only intention was to make them
shorter if possible to fit in a compact format. I will also do things to
delineate one section from another. Not so visible in the result is that
I've now got .php server-side includes working, so it's very easy to
migrate the format and apply consistency to many pages without ever writing
the same code twice. I will be extending the new format to the other
tutorials pages, and pare down the current set of images while I do it.
