I also think the ehow advice is incorrect in general anyway.

ehow is the bottom of the bucket in ad-ridden spam sites; information on
ehow is written by idiots who think it's a GRQ scheme. You can pretty much
discount anyone linking to ehow as a complete net newbie, who chose ehow
because it came up first in a google search (they specifically design the
site so it comes up first).

As I recall, eHow is basically just a web "scraper" that copies content
from Wikipedia (another notoriously unreliable source) and republishes
it, confirming what Jon just wrote.

To me, the *plonk...* reminds me of the old man at the public hearing
who stands to make his point, then removes his hearing aid as a sign
that he is not going to hear any rebuttals.
