So I hear you're interested on how to write a guide? Well, look no further than my super simple Guide on How to Write a Guide for Dummies. I'm a Guy and its nice to meet you. 

Now if you will bear with me here, the first thing you're going to want to do is decide on your Guides topic. For this Guide my topic was Guides. So let me begin by being your Guide, and guide you through my Guide on How to Write a Guide. Once you've gotten your topic chosen you can then begin to plan out exactly what steps you're going to need to tell your readers to take. 

I've only just told you to choose your Guide's topic. Now you're starting to plan the steps. (Pick up the Paint - Pick up the Paint Brush - Put your paint brush (not anything else) into the Paint, etc....)

By the time you've planned out clearly in your Guide, all the steps your reader will need to follow. You can then write your steps simply. 

 

Congratulations, you've created a basic Guide!

 

 

For more complex guides please be on the look out for my next book - How to Write a Complex Guide - A How to Write Complex Guide Guide for Not-So-Dummies - By a Guy

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes this is random and yes this is basically a joke, but for me to get the 1st guide award I need to write a guide. If this doesn't qualify as a guide, that is fine, I had fun writing this Guide anyway :p

The images are gone, but the concept stands, maybe even better now:

Meh.

I didn't know Drakonid had done something similar. I like mine better but I'm biased obviously. Don't stress it too much and think of something new.

I'm not too stressed. Just feeling extra bored and can't sleep due to horrible tooth pain..

I might look at writing up a proper guide on a graphic related note.. I like the little shiny awards xD Although the other bar things people have look cool too but I can't find info about them...

I made mine a long long time ago, right after some guy posted some bullshit guide...
Anyway, you know what they say: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I've always tried to flatter you, but you've always thought I was just being an asshole :(

Drakonid is love.. Drakonid is Life.

Although back then I am sure I called you Drakonoid more often than not.. Still have to remind myself that its nid not noid... LOL
