I started out writing this tutorial by keeping notes to myself on what to do. I had to do this mostly so I would not forget later. There were lots of tasks I had to figure out that were not described elsewhere. Once I had some notes written, it was much easier to add or edit them as I modded more. Anytime I had to do something that wasn't immediately obvious to me, I would add to the notes. Later, I started including stuff that would help others. I like being organized, so eventually I began organizing the notes into coherent tutorial form.

Some general tips for writing your own tutorials:

• • Use lists for the steps, and use paragraphs for explanations.

  • Keep the steps simple.

  • Provide details.

  • Insert lots of images that show what the written steps are describing.

  • Stay consistent.

  • When titling sections or chapters, use "-ing" words, such as "Modding" or "Adding".

  • For detailed steps, start them with present-tense verbs, such as "Click" and "Select".

  • Use second-person words, such as "you" and "your", to refer to readers of the tutorial, and first-person words, such as "I" and "my", to refer to yourself as the author.
