I just wanted to provide a suggestion to the folks at team tree house. It seems a regular occurrence that people who are new to Team Treehouse aren't educated or even aware that it's possible to post their code on here. I've seen countless threads where people are being asked to and educated on how to format their code to get more informed answers in a timely manner.
It seems like it would be beneficial to everyone to have a quick tutorial video or even just a sticky thread with instructions on how to do this the first time when visiting the forum.
Just in case there may be some of you reading this who don't know how to do this, I'll mention it. To format code in a thread, simply type three tildes ( ` key left to the #1 on your keyboard) before your code to start it and three more following your code to close it.
Your code goes here.
Happy coding! :)
