How to make...

Before I start on what I'm doing on the project, I'd like to share some references on instructional websites. 

Here are the links I referred to:

1. Niku no Mansei

A website on Japanese paper crafts.


Once you have selected what you want, you get to this page...

Each step is accompanied with an image - which I think really helps to get the message across.

2. Instructables

The world's biggest show and tell.

Haven't went through the whole site, but from what I've seen, it's a pretty spiffy DIY site.

The naviagtion and search engine are very user friendly.
One can find what they're looking for very quickly.

Once you find the item you want, you can choose either to view all the instuctions on one page or go step by step.

3. wikiHow
Just as much as everyone likes dropping by Wikipedia for quick information once in a while, wikiHow is also a site with tonsof tips on DIY.

The content is rich (although I can't guarantee if they're 100% correct), and the whole layout is organized. The hierarchy itself is very useful, complimenting a step-by-step website.

I haven't decided on what I'm going to do for my website yet.

For now, I have two options, it's either toys or food.

Toys, but slightly to crafts - if that's possible.
*Koinobori
*Daruma
*Teru Teru Bozu

If food, I would do a site on bento (Japanese lunch box) and the snacks inside.
*Onigiri
*Sushi
*Curry rice
*Dango
