Do you most of you actually read the instructions or do you wait till you hit a wall?
Are instructions with too many details and notes bad? |

Well produced diagrams are probably clearer than pictures. I feel like an idiot but I can't tell you how many times Brad has posted a picture of what he's talking about and I can't even tell what I'm looking at or in what orientation.
Too much detail in written directions CAN be a bad thing. People get lost in minutiae. You have to figure out how much is enough detail so you're not answering the same questions from users over and over again. |
