Adding new webs is quick and easy - you can have a basic web up and running in a couple of minutes:
-1. **Create** a new directory under <code>**twiki/data/**</code>, ex: `twiki/data/newweb`
+1. **Create** a new directory under `twiki/data/`, ex: `twiki/data/Newweb`<br />
+ * the name has to start with a capital and _cannot_ be a [[WikiWord]]
2. **Copy** in the contents of `twiki/data/_default`.

-**NOTE:** Think twice if you intend to rename the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%MAINWEB% web, since many files point to it. If you rename it, you also have to change all occurrences of `Main` to the new web name (like the web prefixes for all user signatures, <code>Main.SomeName</code>). (On the other hand, if the <code>%MAINWEB%</code> variable is used throughout, you won't have that problem.)
+**NOTE:** If you plan to rename the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%MAINWEB% web, remember that TWiki stores user and group topics in <code>%MAINWEB%</code>, default named `Main`. That means, every [[WikiName]] signature - <code>Main.SomeUserName</code> - points to it and would need updating (unless the variable, <code>%MAINWEB%.SomeUserName</code>, is used throughout).
-1. Prepare your site: Other webs may link to the web you want to rename or delete. Search each web for links to the target web: search all webs for `Abouttochange.` - include the period to find topics like `Abouttochange.SomeTopic`. Make changes as required.
+1. Prepare your site: Search each web for links to the target web, searching topic text for `Oldwebname.`, including the dot so you'll find references like `Oldwebname.SomeTopic`.
+ * Make changes as required, to `Newwebname.SomeTopic` or better yet, to <code>=%MAINWEB%.SomeTopic</code>.
2. Edit the %WIKIPREFSTOPIC% topic: Rename or delete the web from the `WIKIWEBLIST` variable.
3. Edit the [[TWikiWebsTable]] topic: Rename or delete the web from the table.
-4. Connect to the %WIKITOOLNAME% server: Login via Telnet or FTP.
-5. Edit the data files: Go to `twiki/data` and rename or delete the web directory.
-6. Edit the template files: Go to `twiki/templates` and rename or delete the web directory if present.
-7. Edit the public files: Go to `twiki/pub` and rename or delete the web directory if present.
+4. Login to the %WIKITOOLNAME% server, via Telnet or FTP.
+5. Go to `twiki/data` and rename or remove the web directory.
+6. Go to `twiki/templates` and rename or remove the web directory if present.
