    》BBC
    》Extra Info





    Know Your Topic Well





    You must always know what you are typing about down to almost every single detail there is. If you don't people will say what you did wrong. It has happen to me before on one of my guides for having small errors. If you make a mistake send support@athinkingape.com an email

    Setup for that:
    <Your game>
    <Your username>
    <Issue> "please update my thread"
    <Link to the thread>
    <The whole thread>






    The Set-up





    Always start of your threads with one word as it opens it up to the reader more.
    For example how i started this. [Size=200*][color=orange*]Guides Too Guides!![/size][/color]
    Then create sections so your reader knows what goes where in order.
    For example [size=200*]SECTIONS[/size]
    Then list your sections with bullets. For example 》section name here or use the BB code
    • [/hr]


      Sections





      When making sections list things you want to talk about. Then group them up into 4-5 categories. Then simply make a name for each category and bam you have sections. And like I said before don't forget bullets.





      Inform The Reader





      Inform your reader(s) on everything there is to know on your topic. It is okay if you forget some things but don't forget to much as you might be hated on. Define any word your read may not know {farming, pvp, tutor, To get a better idea to your readers show screenshots on how to do stuff depending on what your topic is. Edit the photo with color by scribbling out irrelevant parts and circling relevant parts. You may need to use up to one or more photos





      BBC





      Include bb codes in your guides for size, color, bold, italics, underline, list and sometimes quote. BB codes make your thread look more professional. Some players like me may not be 100% with foruming thread with bb codes so find someone thats good that may help you. If you find nobody just wing it like I am doing for this thread right now.

      Remove the asterisk for all the bb codes below except for list
      List you must keep the asterisk in (remove the space I added)

      • [Size=color*][/size]
        [Color=[i]your color here[/i]*][/color]
        [Quote=" players name"*][/quote]
        [B*][/b]
        [U*][/u]
        [I*][/I]
