-                Once you have your base recipe, you need to name it and be

+                Once you have your base recipe, you should put it in your
+                own layer and name it appropriately.
+                Locating it correctly ensures that the OpenEmbedded build
+                system can find it when you use BitBake to process the
+                recipe.
