Good start, yes. Good work Mikey. A couple of them don't feel quite 
right though. I'm not sure whether they should be left alone because 
they are common things that might trip up newcomers, or if they should 
be corrected because they aren't really "problems". For example, this one:

The script editor is just another stack, so of course when you change 
stacks the original selection is removed. So this isn't really something 
that's "wrong" with Revolution, it is just standard behavior. On the 
other hand, it is probably something that newcomers wouldn't expect so 
maybe it should stay in there. Use different wording, maybe.

Also, the problem with the selection point in newly opened script
editors isn't something I can reproduce, so I wonder if it is really 
related to how the editor is opened. I thought this was an old bug that 
got fixed.

The blog is a good idea though Mikey, keep going.
