1st Blender tutorial-Ambient occlusions

(HEY! this is my very first instructable so please give me good feedback and some things i can improve on.) In this tutorial you will be learning how to change your lighting from normal lighting (with a lamp) to ambient occlusions (without a lamp). Before i get to in-depth with this ambient occlusions adds more of a soft lighting effect and not such a hard lighting. So let's get started.

Step 1 1st part of scene

First you are going to need to make a scene to test your ambient occlusions settings on. So first make a simple cube and size it out by 5 and size it down on the z axis by pressig s and then z and then size it down till it is like the picture.

Good instructable! also, It is nearly impossible to teach "blender" in one instructable, as it is extremely large, so i think it is good enough.

You seem to be assuming people know how to use Blender, for something simple I wonder whether this is of much use to people who do?
It doesn't explain how to use the software, rather than show what you did (to me who hasn't used Blender)

You could fill-in on the details, link in to where you get Blender? I think this would be a good base for a tutorial if it had more information in it.
