Landon, I agree that it is best to first  write the article text and to 
do it in your sandbox. That is what I always do. As for Howard's method 
of actually loading the article (i.e., putting it into the "namespace"), 
it is backwards from how I do it ... but it is perfectly okay to do it 
that way.

I just want to repeat what both Howard and I have advised, you should 
first read some other articles and look at their edit pages as well to 
see how the wiki markup language is used.

Have fun and write, write, write! We need your contributions.
