<p>Although I try to make hydrus's interface simple, some of the things it does are quite complicated. Please read how to update/backup and skim the first getting started guides at the least. If you like, you can revisit the more complicated topics later, once you are experienced in the basics.</p>
<p>Keeping the help up to date is a constant battle. If you discover something really does not match the program, or is otherwise confusing or not well worded, please <ahref="contact.html">let me know</a>.</p>
