+    <h2>How-to</h2>
+    <p>
+      Courses allow you to mark the start & finish lines of your
+      test pieces and measure the time spent on the course (as opposed
+      to the total duration of a workout). This allows you to row and rank
+      marked courses.
+
+      To create a course, you use <a href="https://www.google.com/earth/">Google Earth</a>
+      to mark the start and finish lines using polygons. The process is identical
+      to creating custom courses for the
+      <a href="http://performancephones.com/crewnerd/">CrewNerd</a>
+      app.
+
+    </p>
+
+    <p>CrewNerd has published a nice video tutorial of the process.
+      <a href="https://youtu.be/whhWFmMJbhM">Click here</a> to see the video. The part
+      we're interested in starts at 2:05.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      In addition to start and finish areas, on rowsandall.com you can add additional
+      polygons to mark areas that you must pass (in that order). This allows for
+      courses with turns around buoys, respecting buoy lines, or respecting traffic
+      patterns on rivers and lakes.
+    </p>

+      <ul>
+        <li>Open Google Earth</li>
+        <li>Create a folder "Courses" under "Temporary Places" or under "My Places"</li>
+        <li>Create a folder for each Course under "Courses", and for each course:</li>
+        <li>Create Start polygon</li>
+        <li>Optional: Create First "must row through" polygon</li>
+        <li>Optional: Create subsequent "must row through" polygons</li>
+        <li>Create Finish polygon</li>
+        <li>Save "Courses" as KML file</li>
+        <li>Upload the file to rowsandall.com using the "Add Courses" button</li>
+      </ul>
+    </p>
+
+    <p>You are allowed to have multiple courses in one KML file.
+      Your CrewNerd "courses.kml" file works out of the box</p>
+
+    <p>The site doesn't test for duplicate courses.</p>
