- Use the timeline to work out what's gone on before.
- Use the latest version of the Application.
- Use the application checklist to make sure you've covered everything you need to.
- Ask questions if you're confused, by emailing the mods or catching them one on one via our contact pages, or ask via Twitter or Tumblr.
