@snormore - Created this PR to add info about how to connect the node to the testnet. Added some placeholder content below - not sure if it is in the correct format or location. But when you have time, might you be able to help provide the steps/instructions to make the connection? I can try them out and we'll be on our way! Thank you for all of your support and guidance. Such an exciting time...

5. To confirm that your node is connected, xxxxxx.
