There are just rules to follow!
If you want to help in this regard, please let me know. If you want to help by undertaking another class, let me know too. I will make it happen and I will work with you on problems that you might encounter. Contact me.
Creating something techy from scratch is difficult. But modifying something that already exists is easier.
