The how-to top ten

Since its launch a month ago, the how-to area of KnowHow has had over 7000 visits from authors and learners alike. There are already 35 how-to's covering a wide range of topics, more are added each day. Here is our top ten countdown of the most popular guides so far.

(Remember, every guide can be amended or updated by the reader – so don’t be afraid to make changes if you see something that could be improved.)

Help others with their requests for help

The KnowHow ‘how to’ platform is not just for people to share their knowledge, it’s a place where people can ask for help. We already have two requests: one from HRBird on how to write and manage press releases; another from WEditor on how to do an effective Google search. Can anyone help out by writing a how to guide on these subjects?
