Sandbox 4 - flat page, where all headings are same "H3", irrevelant of subsections.

Size of Images
When putting in images, try to keep the "forced" size to 200px. Infoxbox has automatic resize feature built in. The request is for the images not part of Infobox. The line is. If comment is needed, make it 200x|Lt. Gov. John Broome. Dsammy 17:45, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
