Strange, I have always found IKEA instructions to be fairly straightforward and descriptive, in contrast to instructions from other furniture vendors.

Yeah I've heard the IKEA complaint in a number of places, but I always found the instructions very good. And I don't consider myself handy at all.

Then again I just tested my blog and it has no errors in the console in Chrome or Firefox (except for missing favicon which is not really an error):

There is still a small, useful subset of the web that is very functional. And I've even grown to like CSS after writing 100 lines of it by hand. If you have 1000+ lines of CSS then you stop understanding it, and apparently the browser stops understanding it too.

Yeah, I've never understood the complaint about IKEA instructions. Their instructions and build steps are always miles better than other furniture companies.
IKEA instructions come very close to LEGO instructions in terms of clarity.
