RE:website nits - getting-started

Steve Krug's advice in his usability book is, "Omit needless words".

Caveat -- this is my personal preference and style, YMMV.

Velocity is easy to use! A quick way to get started is to skim the
references below, then look at the examples and source provided in the
distribution. <i>For developers writing web-based applications, the Web
Application Guide is highly recommended!</i>

* User's Guide - explains how to write Velocity templates 
* Developer's Guide - explains how to use Velocity inside Java programs
* VTL Reference - concise syntax for Velocity Template Language (VTL) 
* Web Application Guide - web-based application techniques and
VelocityViewServlet tutorial 
----
Note:I would rename "VTL Reference Guide" to "VTL Reference".

 It's easy to get started with Velocity. The best places to begin are:

    * the User's Guide, which provides a good overview of what Velocity
templates are all about.
    * the Developer's Guide, which provides a good reference and
discussion of how to incorporate Velocity into your Java programs and
servlets.
    * the VTL Reference Guide, which is a reference guide to VTL, the
Velocity Template Language.
    * if you want to build a web application, be sure to read the Web
Application Guide and then download the Velocity Tools sub-project to
use VelocityViewServlet.

The best place to start is with the examples provided in the
distribution, and with the source code itself, which is included.
