     - Connect a Micro USB power cable to the Raspberry Pi. The system should will start booting up immediately.
+Note: you may choose to connect the Raspberry Pi over Wi-fi to simplify connections, but for the sake of the tutorial, we'll work with wired connections for now. If you do decide to switch over to WLAN, there are instructions on the next section how to do so.
 ==== Powering up the Raspberry Pi ====
   - It could take up to five minutes to boot. Watch the blinking green activity light on the Raspberry Pi indicating that the Raspberry is booting up (see image below with the red arrow). Once the blinking stops, wait another 15-30 seconds before proceeding. If the activity light of Raspberry does not blink at all after powering up, the MicroSD card may not be properly inserted, it may not have been properly flashed or the image used was corrupted. You may need to retrace your steps up to this point. \\ {{ :guides:pics:raspberry_activity.jpg?500 |}}

 ==== Connect over SSH ====
-  * Once you've figured out the IP address of the Raspberry Pi, connect to it via SSH. You can use any SSH client to log into the Raspberry. I choose to use PuTTY for this tutorial, which can be obtained from: \\ https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
+  * Once you've figured out the IP address of the Raspberry Pi, you can connect to it via SSH. SSH server is now enabled, because we saved the SSH.TXT file on the root of the boot file system on the earlier step. You can use any SSH client to log into the Raspberry. I use PuTTY for this tutorial, which is highly recommended and can be obtained from: \\ https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
   * Upon first connection, you will receive a warning message. This is normal. Click on Yes to add the security key to the local cache. \\ {{ :guides:pics:putty_security_alert_yes.png?300 |}}
   * It will prompt to log on. Username is ''pi'', password is ''raspberry''. Everything is case sensitive.

 ==== Basic configuration and network settings ====
-  * For ease of access through SSH, you may want to configure a static IP address for your Raspberry Pi so that you can connect to the same IP address without always checking your router for the correct IP address. Later on you may want to reverse this change, if you want the Raspberry to auto-configure to be used in any network. In the latest version of Raspbian, you can set a static IP by editing **/etc/dhcpcd.conf** and uncommenting the example static configuration.

-    * Here's an example of my static IP configuration. As you can see, I've set my IP as **10.0.16.50** and router to **10.0.16.1**. Usually the router can also double as a domain name server, but for portability I've told Raspberry to just use the Google name server, **8.8.4.4**. For simplicity, I won't use any other name servers at this time, but if you want to use more, you can add them to the same line, just separate them with a space.

     * To exit, press CTRL+X
   * Disconnecting and reconnecting the Ethernet cable should be sufficient to update the IP address. In my case my new IP updated to **10.0.16.50**, so I will reconnect PuTTY on this new IP address.
