add to calibre help sections?

I've lurked on these threads ever since I found calibre looking for help and directions on using the program. One resource I don't see a connection to is the blog created by developer's wife. (http://blog.calibre-ebook.com/search...max-results=13)

I found this an EXCELLENT source of information as I slowly learned the program. If it already linked to the program site or these forums, my apologies. It's just that every time I read it, I found the answer to one or more questions I couldn't seem to find in FAQs, help, or forums. I think new users would also find it a valuable resource. Just one person's opinion.

The program is at once extremely complex (to me) and there were so many things about it that other people help me understand on various websites. I wish that people would put together the "simple" things that you need when first using the program.

Some examples:
Wide view vs. narrow view changes the user interface default. (I couldn't figure out how to get the book details off the right of the screen in my portable version and get it to show below the main screen as the default was set in the regular version.)
When manually updating metadata the little button off to the left of the publication date will turn into a calendar with dropdowns to easily change the month and year, and that you must click in the day section before exiting or the date change will not take place. I know these are really simple but getting an answer, well I'm an old lady and I'm not supposed to use that kind of language.

Anyway...Thanks to everyone who is involved with calibre, it was the answer to a prayer when I starting acquiring so many e-books. I learn new things about it every day.
