Wikihow: advice for all

I've recently become rather impressed with the website Wikihow. It is based upon the simple idea that people from all over the internet can write advice for other people in the form of "how to" manuals. There are loads of excellent categories and the search function reveals all kinds of gems. For example try "write a book".

Some key points to remember are: 1) As the content is not necessarily from experts, not all the advice is good (some is even inaccurate or damaging) and 2) there may be more than one "Wikihow" that deals with a topic you are interested in from different authors.

Enjoy!
