How to use and navigate BYC

Introduction
I have been on BYC for a year, and I absolutely love it and spend way too much time on it! I have found some very helpful tips, tools, and tricks, so I thoughts I would put them here! Since I’m sure I will end up adding to it, I will dedicate a whole page to each topic. This article will be much easier to read if you don’t use the Dark version of BYC. I took these pictures on my iPhone through Safari, so it may look different on your device. If you have any suggestions for topics, please pm me or leave a comment! If you still have questions, you can post them here. Let’s get started!

This is good, but I think it's a good start.

The vast majority of new members want to learn where to find the info they came here in the first place for. It would be better to explain all of the Tabs at the top, starting with Forums. That's where most wind up looking for where they can post about their poultry. You could explain how there's a forum for almost every animal there is, plus other places in the Forums like the Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures, or Predators and Pests, etc.

After that, I'd point out Articles, mostly the Learning Center and Coops, which are the two most helpful things in BYC.

I think you're onto a great start, but it just seems like it's not geared to include brand-new members, as they aren't being shown what is most likely important to them to find.

Unless you wanted to make a "Starting Out in BYC" one, and an "Advanced BYC" one. What you have here would be for the Advanced one.

It's really good what you have going here, so if you choose to improve it with more stuff, let me know, and I'll change my rating. :)
Love the pictures! No real comments besides that I think its very helpful!
Concise and helpful, especially to beginners!

It would be helpful to have a FAQs section or a section that actually explains how to use the Gallery. This article doesn't provide any information really. For example, I uploaded a video, posted it in a thread and although it will play for me, it won't for others. I can't find any information on how to fix that.
