Thing # 6 Is there a page on Wikihow on how to use Wikihow?
Wikihow is a neat site. The site is a collection of user-written, how-to articles. It is similar to Wikipedia as in the user writes the content of the site. Wikihow provides a wide range of how-to articles from how to calculate the value of scrap gold to how to become a Civil War Drummer. The wide range of topics the site covers it quite impressive. They claims it has "98,508 how-to articles." The one aspect I really like about the site is it's wide range of topics. The thing I dislike is it's wide range of topics. I guess I am just nitpicking, but I really don't see use in most of these articles. Sure, someone out there might find use in articles that I don't, but there should be another medium were people can look up the more obscure topics. I do give them credit for writing well-thought-out and well written articles. I don't know maybe I am going to far. Overall, I find Wikihow to be a interesting website and regardless of my opinions, you should check it out.

I can't tell you how many times I've used sites like this. Just a few years ago, you'd be lucky if a search turned up such wonderful how-to instructions. Now people intentionally create repositories of them. The internet is wonderful.
