A Note about Help

The principle of transparency of operation, under which OutHistory.org functions, means that as much "how to" info as possible should be detailed here in the Help section. If a user forgets how to do something, or wants to learn how to do something for the first time, clear information should be provided here. Knowledge of the site's operation should be independent of any particular person.
