## My Worker cannot find Blender, what do I do?
When installing and starting the Flamenco Worker you may see a warning in the logs that says
the Worker cannot find Blender.

I think this line can be removed, and the period in the sentence above can be turned into a colon:

... that says the Worker cannot find Blender:

IMO there is no need to specify which version of Flamenco is used. If you do want to be explicit, use something like "Flamenco Worker v3.2 would log:"

WRN Blender could not be found. Flamenco Manager will have to supply the full path to Blender when Tasks are sent to this Worker. For more help see https://flamenco.blender.org/usage/variables/blender/
```
If Flamenco cannot locate Blender on the system it is possible to use a [two-way variable named `blender`][blendervar] for each platform (eg: Windows, Linux, or MacOS). This path to Blender is then sent to the Worker for each render task. Note that the Worker will still show the warning at startup, as it cannot find Blender by itself; this is fine, because you now have configured the Manager to provide this path.

This can be written more positively. It's just a warning, not a "problem". Something like "There are two ways to address this" would be better.
