What’s in every guide
- The short answerWhat the answer actually is, before any steps. If the honest answer is “you need a plugin”, it says so up top.
- What you needThe prerequisites, so you find out about them now rather than four steps in.
- The stepsIncluding the manual route where one exists, with the parts that make it annoying left in.
- Tools that do this jobEvery product we have covered that solves this task — a list that grows as we cover more.
- SourcesThe documentation each step was checked against, so you can verify it yourself.
By topic
How this works
The job comes first, not the product
A guide is about a task you are trying to finish. Whether a product is involved is a detail, and sometimes the answer is that you do not need one.
The manual route stays in
Where a job can be done without installing anything, we show you how — including why it is irritating. A tutorial that opens with “install this plugin” is an advert.
Guides get better with age
Several products usually do the same job. Rather than publish a page for each, we keep one guide and add each tool as we cover it. The comparison at the bottom keeps growing.
