To perform some of the changes in this document you may need a File Transfer Protocal Client
(FTP Client).
Don't capitalize "Client"

Once you reach the Template Configuration settings, before you can change any of them, check to see if the
parameters file is writable. You must set this to 777.
Could be better phrased as:
"Before you change any of the settings in the Template Configuration, check to see if the parameters file is writable. You can do this by changing the file's permissions to 777"

Refer to the Joomla! forum (Joomla.org) for more information.
Isn't it forum.joomla.org?

If you've done
all these things, then the new header [Joomla! logo] image should be appearing in the area that the previous
image was.
Did you mean to use the [] parentheses?

Many people like to change the favicon (favorite/bookmark image, it appears next to your URL in a browser's
URL input area).
-What favicon? You should say either "..change their favicon..." or "...the favicon of their site..."
-should say "...favorite/bookmark image that appears next to..."
Quote:
Usually its the Joomla! logo.
Wrong kind of "its". Use "it's", meaning "it is"
Quote:
I think there was something that said you couldn't include non-Joomla! urls.
Quote:
Both of these allow you to browsefor an image, then upload it, where it is then resized, and then made available
for you to download, and then host on your own server as the favicon.
-"Browsefor" should be "browse for"
-This is a run-on sentence. Split it into two or three.
Quote:
This is the Joomla!
favicon file, and you should overwrite it. Once its been uploaded, you should go to your browser, and clear your
cache.
The style guide says you shouldn't be afraid to give commands instead of using "should". This is how you change the favicon; these steps aren't optional.

Quote:
When you are in the HTML editor, you're actually looking at PHP code, in fact, you are looking at the
template's index.php file.
Split this into two sentences at the second coma.
Quote:
Once the line(s) have been removed, you can save the index.php file by clicking save on the Joomla! Toolbar.
Don't capitalize "Toolbar".
Also, on the note boxes, you should add some padding to the Joomla! logos.
Good job!
