Tumblr Backup with Python Issues

Hi, I found your journal through seperis and I wanted to share with others some issues I ran into as a total novice with code. On Tumblr, I'd just add my experience to the Github Backup post we'd all be sharing and it would be there for all, but since we don't have that, this seemed like the next best option. I hope this isn't rude as DW goes.

Windows 10 Home
First, I found my environmental variables by going to Settings and searching for Environ and there were two options. One is for user variables/account and one for system. Turns out we want system. Then I edited the path variables as directed but messed up by editing the top portion of the variables. These are account/user and we want the ones below for system. After I got that right, I clicked on Path, then Edit, then New and pasted in the new line as directed.

However, my system didn't recognize Python. So I had to add python to my PATH as well. Same place, Edit, New, and I pasted in C:\Python27. This worked, but ONLY after I closed the command prompt and re-opened it. Once all this was done, it worked perfectly.

Hope this helps someone else.
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
