Thanks for your contribution! 😀
I've made a few specific comments but there are some other sentences that may need rewording to be clearer.
Another thing is you're using bold text all over the place - perhaps italics might be more suited for subtle emphasis?
The file also needs to have a .md extension.

Typo here. Perhaps rewrite the sentence to something like this?

Thanks, looks good... English is not my native language so... It's not perfect but it's something... And could be helpful :) I have totaally forgotten .md extension About bold - I think that those parts should be seen if someone is looking specifically for them so I made them bold... I'm not sure if italics would make same effect... |
