Guided Practice
[I posted this to the discussion on the Main Page but that apparently wasn't the correct place to discuss this so I'm repeating my comment here.]

The news [on the wiki Main page] of 24 June 2008 announces that training modules called "Guided Practice" are available but it doesn't link to these training modules. When "Guided Practice" is entered as a search term, the only close match is to the User Group Meeting of 18 June 2008--which requires even more clicks to be able to find because it's archived.

In order for this to be more useful for new contributors to the wiki, I suggest: 1) that a link be created from the new[s] announcement or within the Getting Started page, 2) That it is mentioned that "Guided Practice" is currently available for X topics, and 3) That it be linked to a category or something that will allow it to be found with a general search.

Titles on this page

I don´t know how to do it, but I suggest adding a title to the left column named "How to start your family history" and a title for the second column called "How to start using FamilySearch Wiki", so that it is clear the purpose of each.
