Step 1How To Post

Got a handy bit of info that's not big enough for it's own ible? Feel free to post it under any of the categories that the information applies to. Also place it under the correct entry type.
The categories are:

  • Art
  • Craft
  • Food
  • Games
  • Green
  • Home
  • Kids
  • Knex
  • Life
  • Music
  • Offbeat
  • Outdoors
  • Pets
  • Photography
  • Ride
  • Science
  • Sports
  • Tech

The entry types are:

  • Hints & Tips (actions that can be used to do something easier, quicker, etc...)
  • Gadgets (things that can be made)
  • Useful Information (information that is relevant to the category that is useful)

Number it by order of adding to the category, and if you have a picture to go with it, number it the same number as the entry. Also post your username.

Be sure to tag the Instructopedia with whatever you have added so people can find it!

Hello, and welcome to the Instructables community! It's great that you've decided to tell the world about something you've made by publishing an Instructable. We just wanted to let you know that your project still needs a little more work if you want it to be well received on Instructables. Projects that don't include certain basic elements tend not to get the attention that they deserve, and so we'd love for you to check out the list below of what makes a successful Instructable. Successful projects on Instructables include: - clearly written details of a finished project with instruction - as many steps as are necessary to explain your project - clear images that you took of your project for most, if not all of your steps - an intro image - proper spelling and grammar - appropriate cautions or safety considerations I'll give you another opportunity to make any final changes to your project before we publish it. Once you're all set to go, please republish your project and send me a quick comment letting me know that you've made some changes. I'll give it a quick final check to make sure you're on the right path, and then remove this note. Thanks for your submission and we hope to see your project published soon!
