How to website
-
I've contemplated the idea of starting my own tech blow, but after starting a health and fitness blog that only lasted a month I found that blogs are not for me. However I wanted to run my newest idea past everyone. Over the years I've created hundreds of how-to documents on various topics that I was studying or learning about at that time. Though the process of creating all of them I've learned that I rather enjoy creating documentation and teaching. So I'm considering creating a web site that is just how-tos. My end goal is to turn it into a giant knowledge base by the end of my IT career. Be like the Google of IT documentation! lol

I find that documenting for other people helps me to learn because I have to think about how they will be approaching it.

@Duffney Have at it! It is how Daniel Petri did it—
Check the WaybackMachine to see how it had evolved over the last fifteen years.

Can be a great idea. You definitely need to do some marketing!

A good How-To site can do a lot to drive traffic to your "brand."

While not this exact text, this is what drove me to start my own blog. And it's really worked. When "teaching" you are forced to look at a problem from several different angles and make sure you know what you're talking about. Go for it!

Yes, I find that when I document for others, especially anonymous others, it makes me learn things better myself.

@Duffney Sounds like a great idea. I don't think there are enough sites out there of high quality.
