UPDATE - Light/Soft Bottoms

Hi Everybody,

Just wanted to drop a note to say thanks again to everyone who provided advice in this thread a few days ago.  I tried out some of the recommendations, and got a bottom crust I'm much happier with.  I've attached a photo of my new oven arrangement, as well as the nice toasty bottom of my latest bake (unfortunately I don't have any pictures of pre-rearrangement results, but trust me: they were white!).  Thanks everybody for the support!

Super! Yeah steam is a tricky thing for the home oven. Looks like you set up a nice compromise.

Glad that you have it figured out Teejay, it took me some time to figure out what works in my oven as well.
