Dear Python Editing Team,

I am a very new user trying to teach myself Python and discovered that one
small change to the Beginner page would have made my life easier yesterday
by saving me several hours of scrolling and angsting, so I thought I'd make
the change myself instead of just complaining about it. My username is
ErinLazzari, as per the username directions on the profile-creation page.

On this page here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download the
note in the Windows section about the yellow download button actually
refers to the main download page, which isn't hotlinked until the bottom,
so I assumed it was referring to the Windows page -- which notably lacks a
yellow download button. I was hoping to simply create a hyperlink on 'main
download page' that goes to this page instead:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download .... which does have a
yellow download button!

There are a few other concepts that would be good to explain to complete
newbies like myself (i.e. those of us who have never coded before in our
lives beyond a little bit of HTML and maybe BBCode from the forum days),
but I'll leave those to the more experienced users until I have some
concept of what I'm doing.

Thank you!
Erin Lazzari
