-      Some things you can try:

+      The <em>default</em> server configuration includes
+      this <strong>ready-to-use root Pod</strong> you're looking at.
+      That way, you don't need to create an account
+      to read and write data or to test apps.

-        Read or write documents in the <strong>default pod</strong>.

-          <li>Anyone can read or write;
-              update the <a href="/.acl">access controls</a> to change this.</li>
-          <li>You can disable the default pod in the configuration.</li>
-        </ul>
+        Modify or delete this welcome document
+        at <a href="index.html"><code>index.html</code></a>.
       </li>
       <li>
-        <strong>Create your own</strong> pod by <a href="/idp/register/">registering</a>.
+        Prevent public write and control access to the root Pod
+        by modifying <a href=".acl"><code>.acl</code></a>.
+      </li>
+      <li>
+        Disable Pod registration
