 In each member directory, there are one more more site directories. For example: 
 
-  * /home/members/mayfirst/sites/mayfirst.org
-  * /home/members/mayfirst/sites/members.mayfirst.org
+  * `/home/members/mayfirst/sites/mayfirst.org`
+  * `/home/members/mayfirst/sites/members.mayfirst.org`
 
 Typically, each site directory has the following sub directories: logs, include, web, and users. Let's consider each one separately:
 
-  * logs - the logs directory contains the web logs for the member's web site. It is not writable, not even by the member who owns the sites. It is only readable by users created by the member who owns the site.
-  * include and web - these directories, by default, are readable by everyone. They can only be written to by users created by the member who owns site.
-  * users - the users directory is the most complex. It contains a subdirectory for every user created by the member who owns the site (these are referred to as home directories). It is readable by everyone, meaning everyone can see a directory listing of the users. For users who were created prior to mid August 2008, the home directories in the users directory are also readable by everyone. In mid August 2008, we [ticket:1104 changed that policy] so that home directories, by default, are only readable by the owner of the home directory. Home directories are only writable by the owner of the home directory.
