To add instructions to the form, we will just need to insert some content into the before_new_record_form block (defined in the Dataface_New_Record.html template).  If you are new to the concept of blocks, slots, and templates, please take a moment to read the customization section of the Getting Started tutorial.

function block__before_new_record_form(){
    echo <<<END
		
        <h1>FAS Open House Guest Registration Form</h1>
        <p>To register as our guest at Discover Applied Sciences, simply fill in the blanks below.</p>
        <p>Pre-registration earns you TWO entries into the Grand Prize Draw (iPods!). </p>
        <p>Those joining us without pre-registering are most welcome and will be
