Hiatus
1 February 2007First off, let me start by apologizing for my long-hiatus. I’ve been busy overcoming some personal phobias and furthering various portions of my personal life.
Still, I shouldn’t have neglected this site for so long.

Did my post help you? Buy me a coffee?The 5 Best How-to Websites
5 September 2006 eHow and wikihow: Both exceedingly useful how-to websites, both for geeks and non-geeks. I find the wiki much more useful, and the subject matter is much more diversified, from health to relationships, finance to tech.
Makezine and Makezine/Blog: MAKE magazine is about the coolest magazine on the market. I highly recommend getting a real subscription, but the next best thing is definitely the blog. Updated daily, there are tons and tons of awesome how-tos and guides to be had.
Instructables: My personal favorite, Instructables.com took an awesome idea and produced an awesome how-to website. It makes posting how-to’s with pictures exceedingly easy, and more and more users are taking advantage.
CNet Howto: This is a mostly-tech howto and tip/trick website, but useful nonetheless. Good browseability.
delicious tagged howto: Del.icio.us is a repository for lots of useful information, and the subject of howto is no different. Tons of useful links, updated frequently (obviously).
