I would have replied to this earlier, but I had to work. (Unfortunately where there's no internet access - lame.)
At first I thought it was laziness (especially asking for storyline layouts when one I had posted was just a page earlier). However, as mentioned above, I really do see where she's coming from, and it's actually been helpful for me to see how to make the community more noob-friendly. I actually tried looking through the community for the questions she's asked and finding I actually couldn't find it without knowing where it is already.
Also, I'll admit most of the tutorials end up being about those things because those are what the majority of folks have the most trouble with (and thus the most demand is). (In fact, lately I've started to wonder if people were only here for the layouts.) In most of my posts now, I don't even bother explaining how to create layouts from the ground up because I feel like I've gone that sort of thing so much and everyone's been in the community so long that they know where and what everything is.
But anyway, I really don't want it to feel like total noobies are unwelcomed. However, I also don't want people who already have this knowledge to feel like they have to wad through fairly simple questions all the time. SO, to put it simply: it's nice to see how different users use the community and hopefully as I get this place cleaned up I (and other, even other users) can address both needs (maybe a HTML 101 post or something).
And on a totally unrelated note, I just realized that you're the person who's journal I keep stumbling across and like very much. It's so pretty and clean and simple and YOU PROBABLY KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT PRETTY, CLEAN AND SIMPLE THINGS.
But anyway: Don't even worry about it. For me, it's actually really helpful just to know what people use this place for. And that site? Is actually a really great resource for newer people. So, you're contributing. Against your will. HA.
Also, I know it's easy to be a bit blunt and come off entirely the wrong way (trust me, I do it all the time without being able to edit what I say - and even being able to edit comments), and it's really nothing I hold against you. I just want users to feel like this is a safe space to ask those seemingly obvious questions because we've all been there. And ha, you're not alone. If people say they don't do it, they're totally lying.
Wow this got long. Sorry!
AND SORRY ORIGINAL POSTER FOR PRETTY MUCH SPAMMING YOUR POST BTW.
