 ## File names and titles
 
 * File names do not have to be the same as the titles that display at the top of the file.
-* For file names, use all lower-case, join words with - and not _ or `%20` statements, and add the markdown specification. The file name should be `another-important-thing.md`, not `Another%20Important%20Thing.md`, `AnotherImportantThing.md`, or `Another_important_thing.md`. This is important for SEO, human readability, and readability by assistive devices.
-* Remember to add a permalink. For the latest example it should be: `permalink: /another-important-thing`, if is nested the permalink will be prefixed with the required folder estrucrure.
-* File titles should be in sentence case: "Another important Royale thing", not "Another Important Royale Thing". The point here is that the more capitals involved, the harder it is to read the statement.

 ## Documentation conventions
 
 1. Address the reader directly, and in active voice, so "To do X, follow these steps..." rather than "When a developer wishes to do X, these steps would be followed..."
-2. Instead of "he or she" use "they" when the pronoun is for an indefinite singular actor: "When someone has an existing application to migrate, they should start by...". This offends my grammarian soul, but is becoming standard English.
-3. Link generously to other content in the help docs that may throw light on the current subject.
-4. When writing how-to material, provide the *what*, the *so what*, and the *now what*: what a widget is, why widgets can be important in your code, and here's how to find, adapt, or create the widget of your dreams.
+2. Do not insert yourself into the material with comments like "I used to do X in Flex, but I find it easier in Royale to do y..." Keep the focus on the reader.
