-Hey everyone, thanks for volunteering to edit this site.

+Thanks for volunteering to edit this site.
 I am planning on setting up the main tree structure for all of the pages myself and then leaving a bunch of blank pages there for easy editing. If you have something you to add to a page just go ahead and edit it.\\

+The video ID is what you place after the "youtube>" piece. You can find that in the URL of the browser when you're looking at a youtube video

+====== General Website Information ======
+This website uses **Dokuwiki **as its wiki platform to help make this easier to use and edit. [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/|https://www.dokuwiki.org/]]\\
+If there are things you would like to see changed on the website then let me know and I can see what I can do.
+If you're looking for more information about what's possible on the site with dokuwiki and the way formatting is done or themes are created, the dokuwiki website will have more information. I can always edit the code though to change little things here and there too.
+It is currently hosted in AWS on a "free-tier" EC2 instance. It doesn't have a ton of system resources, but it has 30gb of disk space. The free-tier will only last for 12 months. After that AWS wants something like $90/year to keep the same server going. At that point I will probably just host things locally on one of my spare computers and throw a ton of disk space at it.
+I'm monitoring this website with my work's software. It's basically google analytics on super steroids.\\
+If you want to see some data around site traffic this page has a quick dashboard you can view without signing in.
