High-altitude Baking Tips?

Just moved to a town over 7000 ft. Many of my cookbooks don't address altitude, although some do. Can anyone provide some tips on what I might change to recipes for baking over a mile high? Thanks

This is for Shortened Cakes at over 7500 ft:

Baking powder - decrease by 60%
Flour - increase by 9%
Eggs - increase by 15%
Sugar - decrease by 9%
Fat - decrease by 9%
Liquid - increase by 22%

Edit: The book only mentioned this one thing about cakes. It doesn't have a chapter on high altitude baking. I found all kinds of websites that pertain to this subject. Here is one link:
