Given the general confusion about how to use, wire or even buy potentiometers, I've thrown together a little page on my website that may be of some help:

I hope this is helpful to some teams, any questions or comments can come to me here, or at the website!

Nice write-up.

Feedback: A diagram showing two resistors in series may confuse; a traditional depiction shows a 'wiper' on a long single resistor, which may be conceptually more easily understood by the newbie.
