Making a good guide

This is a guide to making a good guide. I am not sure where this goes, so I will ask mods to move it if it doesn't belong here. Let's get started!

First, you have to decide what you are making a guide on. Do not make it something too common that other people have made. For Example, Making a new block. It seems a lot of people would do that. That is how you can get it more views. Also, make sure that it is useful or helpful.

Next, start writing that guide! Always check through it when you think you're done. There may be holes, or grammatical issues. You may even want to make a rough draft first.!

Then, when you have double-checked you're post, post it! Make sure it has a name that would help get more views. So don't make a name like: LOOK! GUIDE TO _______!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!1!. You want to make it look like you know what you are talking about.

Finally, after you have posted it, always check back on your guide to see if you have any replies. Those replies can be compliments, or ways to improve your guide. If someone says: OHHH THIS SUCKS, or something like that, Report it. That may give your guide a bad reputation, or just hurt your feelings!

I hope this guide helped you, and you will eventually make your own guide!

Re: Making a good guide

Alright, a few things:

-It is slightly vague. It will be easier for other Scratchers if you make an example guide on something common.
-It looks a little informal. Add some BBCode, headings, and perhaps change the word choice. It'll look more professional

Otherwise, great guide.
