Thanks so much @moviedosoco. I think it's really helpful adding the examples you did and the links to the other pages. I just went through the comments again and made a few more edits on the page. Do you want to make these edits into a branch of the GH doc and you can have Danielle review it?

@RLHecht You're welcome! I've already made some of the edits in GH and will do the new ones. I also shared the Google Docs with Danielle for her review.
