Sadly, work has yet again got in the way of Mahalo and I won't be able to participate in the real time training for very long.

The questions that I had lined up include:

1)
How can I create a table of contents?
I'm having trouble with this one at http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-install-ram-in-a-laptop

2)
Can I link youtube videos within a text block?
I would like to create short how-to videos for a couple of my pages to illustrate the steps beyond words. A featured video or video block won't connect the written steps with the videos that I would like to create.

3)
What is the best way for me to create a "for more information" list of links similar to the Mahalo Top 7, but located at the bottom of the page and with a custom title?

4)
Why is the guide note duplicated on a lot of Mahalo created pages? Is there a traffic advantage to this? Eg:
http://img.skitch.com/20090629-dmc3rw463bg4im4hypdp5pxjwc.jpg

5)
Are we going to be able to edit the terms that are passed to ads?
Many of the pages that I've taken over management of have multiple ad units and they're the same. It would be great to give these units a little more direction. Eg:
http://img.skitch.com/20090629-c7xs2q1yfrnyhgyknk4puqgg69.jpg

6)
What is
*{{Print}}

If these aren't answered in the training session, that's ok... I'll ask them here on Mahalo Answers later on.

The duplicate guide note was a bug when how tos were brought over to Mahalo 2.0. It should be deleted. some pages also have other guide note sections--such as tips or a disclaimer--duplicated, which should also be deleted. The {{Print}} command is another error that should be cleaned up on any how tos that you have claimed to manage.

Rob, if you want to add videos inside a text block, copy and paste the code example from my page on The Wire. Look for the section The Wire Season 1.

I got the code from another page that already had it. :)

Yes.
I have the UStream Mahalo Tutorials channel bookmarked on my toolbar in hopes of this and future training sessions. Keep up the good work.

Nope, sorry that is smack dab in the middle of work. I can only pop on for moments at a time on a normal work day.
