Title: How To Make ____________
Post by: caffeinewriter on November 09, 2012, 06:35:53 PM
Okay, I just want to encourage more people to make stuff, because we're a community of doers. Since some people probably want to make their own ____________ (Fill in the blank).

I'll keep this list maintained. If you have suggestions for categories or specific tools, I'll check up on it and add it :).

Since I'm likely more familiar with the subject matter I posted, when I get a chance to post possibly better links, will you update or replace your top post? I'll try and post links, sooner or later.

Will not post, but I do have a book on that. (There's a reason goodlord666 called me better than Google and almost as quick. [I collect a lot of stuff. Don't judge me. ;)] )

Well you already know about the custom pick business.

About the mall. Back some time last year I had an idea to build a virtual 3d mall where all merchants were in one place, so instead of going to seperate sites, you'd walk into a shop and take care of your business there.

How do you make a beach? (http://quezi.com/15189)

If only that worked everywhere...

I think this is a great idea, but you should expand it beyond just linking to the manufacturer's website.  Linking there isn't a bad idea, but linking to photoshop.com doesn't do much to help a person learn anything.

It should be like

Photoshop (http://photoshop.com) [Guides (http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorials/photoshop)]

or

Photoshop (http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorials/photoshop) [Product Page (http://photoshop.com)]

Good idea! Plume isn't very well documented, but it's based on, and should be familiar to, any user of scrivener. I don't know if scrivener tutorials would be of much use, though.

Sigil, on the other hand, has a very detailed user guide (http://code.google.com/p/sigil/wiki/BasicTutorial).
