+Error handling
+--------------
+When Mastodon.py encounters an error, it will raise an exception, generally with
+some text included to tell you what went wrong. 
+
+MastodonIllegalArgumentError is generally a programming problem - you asked the 
+API to do something obviously invalid (i.e. specify a privacy scope that does
+not exist).
+
+MastodonFileNotFoundError and MastodonNetworkError are IO errors - could be you
+specified a wrong URL, could be the internet is down or your hard drive is dying.
+
+MastodonAPIError is an error returned from the Mastodon instance - the server
+has decided it can't fullfill your request (i.e. you requested info on a user that
+does not exist).
+
+MastodonRatelimitError is raised when you hit an API rate limit. You should try 
+again after a while (see the rate limiting section above).
