For sure, I'm just thinking though...

This guide is actually quite useful to the Application Developer 
audience we've been mooting recently. In fact, one of the first things 
many would do after getting their credentials set is acquire and upload 
an image.

Sticking an "admin" label on it might make it more difficult to find for 
these folks.


Regards,


Tom
