Yep.  The whole section needs a re-write along the following lines:

	1. What is the ports collection?
		<highly concise description>
	2. How do I use the ports collection?
		<highly concise description of how to navigate through

	3. How do I make a port of my own?
		<real-life example that takes you through the process
		step-by-step>
	2. How does the ports collcetion work?
		<programmer-to-programmer info>
