yeah, but I'm thinking some people could use one translated over from English....
everytimes i try to explain it in french too, people didn't got the idea
I admit that here i failed
I keep trying to write a "tutorial" to explain how made a res ind... It's on the list
You know it's not i don't have the time or that i don't want make it
I keep try to explain it time to time, and to help user to make their own or at least a base to work on...
Sometimes when we give instructions we either leave out a step or don't make the steps clear enough. a tutorial isn't the same as a conversation where someone can stop you and ask what you meant when you said something.
where i work, they used have these little get togethers for managers and such and they would do things like get into groups and come up with tutorial instructions on how to do something.
on of the things they used as an example was changing a flat tire on a car.
for those of us that have done it, seems simple enough.
but when you sit down and draft it step by step then let some one try to follow it exactly, invariably you run into snags.
in the tire example I saw instructions that ended with:
"put spare tire on
replace lug nuts
you're now ready to drive"
never told them to tighten them - or which direction to turn to tighten when previous instruction to remove nuts included direction of turning
never told them to put hubcap on = when previous explained to take off
never told them to put spare and tools back in the trunk - when previous explained take them out
never told them to close trunk when done
simple things yeah. things most of us take for granted as basic common sense
just read a post where someone is trying to go back to windows default something or the other after uninstalling WB - they were told to open the program, pick the window theme, then reboot, then uninstall
someone else piped in with
reinstall wb, then pick windows default,...
simple things
tutorials are cool and can be very helpful
or depending on the skill/knowledge level of the reader they can be intimidating
helping someone to make an independent resolution theme can go smoothly if they familiar with the components of a theme, altering graphics, determining components, understand grouped and children, etc
for some of us (of which I'm in this group)... it's more like.... 'okay, i'm in builder.... i right clicked on it...now what?'
