review of a classmate's technical writing revision

I choose to review Jenny Mockford's technical writing exercise. First off I would like to say she did a very good job of rewriting the paper. She condensed the information into a form that was easy to read and understand. She took out a lot of unneeded words and restructured the entire paper. It flows rather well and it really gets to the point. Each point is no longer than two lines and explains what has to be done step by step.

below is her writing

  1. Nice job. Please move your class blog link list widget from the center over into a side column. You do this by going into Customize, then grabbing and dragging the widget. This will aid considerably with ease of use in your blog design.
