How To : The How To

Sometimes fellow Bloggers you may want to write a "How To" Guide to offer your readers a way to do something that you want to teach them how to do. After evaluating the blog on howtotheweb.blogspot.com that has a recent post on how to make a post on Blogger, I offer some "tricks of the trade" that may make this post offer information a bit better. Here are some examples.

Firstly, a picture when used in a "How To" needs to be clearly visible in a scan, the user won't want to click the picture for a larger image. Keep this in mind when inserting images.

This image is now large enough for the viewer to scan easily. Another thing to consider when using images is marking the image in some fashion so you can indicate to the user what part of the image they should be focusing on.

A Circle like the one above will draw your users attention to what portion of your image you wish them to focus on. Using these tricks will aid your users with scanning your material, and while looking back and forth from what they are doing to the instructions you are giving them.

To Sum up...

• Make your images large enough for the user to scan.
• Highlight the Images to attract your viewers where to look.
