Got the ball rolling on Network Admin help text

• Blogs are now called Sites; Site is now called Network.

The Right Now box provides the network administrator with links to the screens to either create a new site or user, or to search existing users and sites. Screens for Sites and Users are also accessible through the left-hand navigation in the Network Admin section.

After:

New users and sites are easily created by clicking the ‘Create a New Site’ or ‘Create a New User’ links.
