* Warning (initialization): Your `load-path' seems to contain your `.emacs.d' directory

I am an emacs and org-mode newbie. I am mainly coming to Emacs for
Org-Mode. So am using Eric Schulte's Emacs Starter Kit 24. I put this in
.emacs.d. It is suggested in the kit "Move the resulting directory to
~/.emacs.d " <http://eschulte.github.io/emacs24-starter-kit/#fn.1>

http://eschulte.github.io/emacs24-starter-kit/

When I start Emacs I get the following error.

"Warning (initialization): Your `load-path' seems to contain
your `.emacs.d' directory: /home/username/.emacs.d/
This is likely to cause problems...
Consider using a subdirectory instead, e.g.: /home/username/.emacs.d/lisp"

I am uncertain how I should proceed now. I suspect this will be a common
problem for new people. How should I setup the Emacs Starter Kit? Move the
whole kit to /home/username/.emacs.d/lisp ? Put the init.el in .emacs.d?

Regards,

Paul Harper

(I know nothing about starter kit)

On a related note, this warning occurs with Emacs from bzr trunk.  The
problem surfaced in the help list.  See

Thanks. I had seen that thread but it is still unclear to me what that
means.

I just found this which has some discussion from Eric Schulte himself.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-04/msg01777.html

I'll have to go and read this. If I get a solution I'll make sure I post it.

Regards,

Paul
