					<description><![CDATA[Well I wrote the thing so the detailed outline is in my head... of course I know that isn&#039;t really the way to go, but writing it down would probably be harder for me. Taking breaks, yes I wholeheartedly agree, and I try and take a break as often as possible!

The art of writing for non techies, is just that, an art. I can put down the basics but find it difficult to really &#039;trnaslate&#039;. Luckily my other half is able tot take my basic outline and flesh it out to an acceptable standard. 

Thanks for the link to Wink, looks like an interesting program and although not useful for this particular application might come in useful for another project of mine.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve recently become the lone manual writer in my office, which is a whole level of fun and delight that I...really didn&#039;t want.

Have a detailed outline, take lots of breaks, and once you have it written down, see how much of it you can reduce into step-by-step guides.  And then get someone who has no clue whatsoever about the system to read it.

And if you&#039;re making online screencaps, consider something like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debugmode.com/wink/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wink&lt;/a&gt;, which&#039;ll make animated images that show people what&#039;s happening.]]></description>
