Werty has tertiary syphilis; even *he* has a hard time following himself.

A polder-style probe thermometer is easy to use and will typically have an
accuracy within plus or minus of 2 degrees..... which is plenty accurate.

Use 2 clothes pins to clamp onto the probe, and place the clothes pins on an
oven shelf like this: http://i13.tinypic.com/2na8sj8.jpg

Note to self: time to clean the oven (blush)

Probe thermometers are limited to temps no higher than about 350F. But you
can take several temperature readings from 175F (or whatever your lowest
thermostat setting is) to 350F to establish oven accuracy within that
temperature range. Remember to take your ovens temp on each self, and at the
sides, as well as the center of the oven in order to have a clearer picture
of how your oven is performing.
