Starting Points

I didn't want to ingrain these in the tutorial yet, so I figured I'd just give some starting points here, that people can use to work from. Feel free to go where you will with it, as we'll all have a chance to cull the best ideas and edit them into a great article. --Wolf 15:22, 30 Oct 2005 (CST)
