The other day I found a website that I had never heard of before, wonderhowto.com. I am surprised more people do not know about it. I mean everyone knows other helpful sites like wikipedia but, personally, I find Wonder How To way more useful.
I do not know about you, but I have always had a hard time learning how to do things online. It is not that I have a learning disability or anything, I am just more of a hands on learner. If I bring home a new tool or appliance I never read the manual, because reading words is just not the same as seeing something firsthand. For that reason I do use Wikipedia on occasion to look something up, but I have a hard time learning practical things from it.
That is why Wonder How To has blown my mind. Imagine an entire website that consists of how-to instructionals. Overwhelming, right? Yeah, they would be if they were all text. Even pictures can be hard to use. But what if every one of those how-to pages was actually a video? That is how Wonder How To works. I love it.
So now when I want to try something, instead of paying big bucks for a class or trying on my own and messing it up, I just look it up and find a video. The videos are pretty good and go step by step. I cannot believe how much I have already learned and I plan to keep going!
