HOW TO WRITE AN INSTRUCTABLE
If you like to make things and want an easy way to share your creations with others, Instructables is a wonderful place to do it. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a pro - anyone can author an instructable!
In this class, you'll learn all about creating your own instructable. I'll teach you about the documenting process, how to take and edit photos, and give you lots of tips and tricks for using the Instructables editor and writing up your instructions.
Follow along with me as I write my 507th instructable and then author one of your own. Authors like you make Instructables the amazing place that it is!
