Description of the change

This makes text updates to the tour to account for new features.

It also changes the screen shots on the front page so that they have a Lucid theme, rather than Human.

Hi Matthew thanks for the change. The new screenshots look good. You're quite ahead of the game by thinking to do that.

One thing I notice about the page templates are you're lack of line wrapping. Our page templates are supposed to wrap at 78 columns unless there is a formatting reason, which I don't see.

Wikipedia capitalizes 'Git' so I think we should too, which I see you fixed in all but one place.

Thanks Brad.

I've made each of the changes you requested *apart from* the line wrapping. None of the page templates have ever wrapped at 78 chars as that's how they were delivered by the designer and originally accepted into the LP tree.

As the wrapping issue isn't something I've introduced in this branch, would you mind if I change this another time?

Thanks for making the changes. Your rationale about the state of the line-wrapping makes sense.
