Re: Recommendation for where to post Pointer Events primer

Hi, Rob-

Looks great. I took the liberty to make a few changes to match our 
article conventions:

* changed ALL-CAPS TITLES to Titlecase Titles.
* maintained keyword capitalization in titles (e.g. tiltX and tiltY, not 
Tiltx or TiltY)
* removed numbers from titles

Regards-
-Doug
