conducting a WikiHow page

   WikiHow allows its users to create an article on a technique or topic in which they feel they are experts. The website aims to create the most helpful how-to instructions to allow anyone in the world to learn how to accomplish anything. Wikihow provides steps, pictures, warning’s, and tips on the topic they are writing about. Writing steps for this project was difficult. Not using “I” or “you”, is a hard habit to stop. It comes naturally especially when writing step by step instructions.  This project was a challenge. It tests the ability to pay attention to details, writing clearly, and briefly.

Pictures speak a thousand words. They are very helpful to WikiHow pages. It brings life to WikiHow pages. It communicates to the reader how something should look. Pictures, warning and tips go hand and hand. Taking pictures was a difficult component to this project. The photos for this project had to be taken horizontally. Normally when taking pictures with a phone they are taken vertically. Making sure pictures are included in every step was a task. This recipe is made so often it’s hard to remember the person reading the article may not have experience cooking. It is important to make sure that the pictures are communicating what is being done in the photo. The pictures help and not hinder the reader. The easiest parts of the WikiHow project was the the word count. The instructions had to be detailed but brief. The project had to have at least 450 words.

Since pictures are used to communicate what something should look like, warnings and tips tell the reader things they should look out for. The use of tips is to tell the reader how they can achieve great results from the steps. Since the instructions have to be brief, tips may guide the reader in the right direction. The tips may tell the reader something that wasn’t worth mentioning in the article but needed to be said.Warnings are extremely important in a WikiHow project. The warnings tell the reader what to look out for and what to avoid. Since this may be the readers first time doing the task, there may be somethings that they don’t know.

During this part of the project proof reading is important. It is very easy to make a mistake while coding.
