I would love to add this to the memories section with a few adjustments. Instead of going to manage/styles/edit I think new paid users would be less confused if you directed them to manage/styles/create a style first. (It's right above the edit styles link). Alot of times the paid users that need to know how to create a style are asking because someone else has made one for them and given them the style ID number. You may want to clarify the difference between creating a brand new style from scratch and using a public style ID. You may also want to clarify (not exactly necessary, but it may save a few questions) that you can only create a style for one veiw at a time. Many new paid users don't seem to understand this at first. That was a good idea for a tutorial overall and I'm glad you submitted it.
