In case anyone wants to provide feedback about the third "first
board", here are my notes and sample board so far. Yes, a four layer
board is overkill, and I'm intentionally shrinking the board more than
is needed. This is a tutorial, not something practical :-)

Third board: 555 blinky light again, same schematic. SMT, four layer,
internal power planes. New: SMT, layers, vias, thermals, polygon
planes.
Same basic schematic
name GND and VDD nets
gattrib:
MSOP8 LMC555CMM Nat Semi
0603's
PCB:
50mm x 50mm
8/8 rules, 15 mil drill vias
4 layers: component, gnd, power, solder
gsch2pcb as usual
move parts to solder side
position under power jack
move to upper left, shrink to 12.5 x 18mm board
rectangle tool - gnd plane
poly tool - power plane
thermals
via tool - vias near power/gnd connections, manually route
autoroute remainder
