Hey all, just to introduce myself I have played under the tags Trainingday (and TinyBlackTears) in Dota and like all of you now have the prestige of beta testing HoN from S2.

I have long contemplated writing a guide in DotA but never got around to it as I have no idea how to import pictures, and, well, all the good stuff that makes guides pleasing to the eye.

With more noobs then ever I believe now is the time to make accurate and quality guides. I am requesting tips/help in this, templates from your own guides or just info on how to write a guide is greatly appreciated, and of course I will credit you.

Also, assume I have absolutely 0 knowledge on guide writing, because, well, I do. That is why I need help with templates. Content wise I should be absolutely fine, and I feel right now that this is what the community needs.

If you want an easy way to get pics up on the web, just use picasa. Step 1 is take some screenshots, step 2 is open up the directory in picasa, step 3 is drag the little crop box in the editing tool to take out the **** you dont want from the screen shots , step 4 is click the little sync to web button, step 5 is click view them online to see the url, and follow http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/12/embed-photos-from-picasa-web-albums.html for getting html to embed in the post.
