Tutorial: How To Write A Tutorial
Choose A Topic
Decide on a topic, perhaps ask a friend for advice.
Stick with what you know, it will be most beneficial for all.
The Writing Process
Open up a notepad/word document and write your tutorial/article/profile in a clear, concise way. Be sure to use proper, grammatically correct English, but try to keep your wording somewhat simple. Define any words that aren't commonly used, and as in high school and college- always refer to any sources! (DON'T PLAGAIRIZE!) You may want to outline, or do some sort of prewriting step so your article will expand in a logical order- but this isn't required. Spelling should be correct, but it is not a major problem (unless it's out of pure neglect).
Format
(in paranthesis is an example using this tutorial)
Topic Title: The title of your article (How To Write A Tutorial)
for profiles, just use the breed's name, discipline name, etc. make it clear!
Topic Description Tutorial, Article, Breed/Discipline Profile, etc.
----
*At the top of your thread
header:Topic Description: Topic Title
body: your text.
footer: by: your name
resources/works consulted list (if any):
AND/OR for more information:
---
Classify It
Choose the forum where it best belongs:
Horses Forever: General
-anything sim game related (any how to [-insert sim game technique-] usually go here)
-if your unsure of where the article/tutorial goes, post it here and we'll move it.
Horses:Breeds
-all breed profiles, all classlists based on breed associations, all breed based association articles, etc.
Horses:Disciplines
-all discipline profiles, all classlists based on discipline associations, all discipline association articles, all training articles
Horses:Other
-Real Life horse articles that don't fit else where
Web Design Articles can be put in the HF General forum for now, and if there are enough of them we will create a forum for them. =]
