Define key terms.

Walk through an example of how your topic can be applied in an interesting way to beginners and advanced users. (Include screenshots)

Conclusion.

It’s almost like a five paragraph essay from middle school. This is the basic format.

Create an outline that lists all your top level ideas. Create sub topics with as many details as you can. —- then try to convert this to the above format. Edit. Then wait two days and edit it again. Wait two days and edit it again.

Edit until you are happy. But I would suggest spending at least a week from first sentence to final product.
