How To Make a Post In This Thread:

1. Meditate on the Task Before You and Make some Bookmarks

First you'll want to grab http://wikihow.com/Special:Randomizer, which pulls up a random page on WikiHow.

Next you'll want to create a new blank bookmark and paste the below code in. It'll select a random image off the current page and pull it up with links to help you rehost it.

code:

javascript:!function(){var t=document.querySelectorAll(".steps img.content-fill"),e=t[Math.floor(Math.random()*t.length)],o=e.getAttribute("data-src");e.click(),function t(){var e=document.querySelector("#im-info");if(e){e.innerHTML='<div class="im-info-item">Congratulations, this is your image! Its URL is:<br /><span id="byob-url" style="color: #383 !important;">'+o+'</span><br />Copy the URL or save the image and head over to <a href="https://imgur.com/upload" target="_blank" style="margin-right: 0;">Imgur</a> to rehost it!</div>';var r=e.querySelector("#byob-url");r.addEventListener("click",function(){var t=document.createRange();t.selectNodeContents(r);var e=window.getSelection();e.removeAllRanges(),e.addRange(t)})}else setTimeout(t,100)}()}();

Good job, you have taken your first step on the path to enlightenment! Bemusedly accept a high-five from the Buddha and move on to your next step.

2. Get You Some Images

Statistically this is the stage most likely to cause you serious groin strain requiring medical attention, so make sure you warm up first. Not every article is a treatise on basic human interaction aided by animal noises so it might take a few tries to get something satisfyingly amusing or fitting. Also, the code won't grab videos, which would be difficult to rehost anyway.

Start with an idea of what you want your guide to be about or let the non-sequitur traced stock photos be your inspiration. Grab as many as you want and slap them into an album on Imgur, and you'll be ready for the next step. Also, get some ice on that before it swells.

3. Write your Very Important How-to Guide

Let your muse scream into your ear like a blaring fire alarm to get those creative juices flowing and compose an epic instructional thing about something that is surely relevant to everyone's lives, using your images as visual aids.

4. Post That Bad Boy

Ok, maybe your muse screamed a little too loud and ruptured an eardrum or three, but you got the job done! Slap that sucker onto BYOB and :justpost:

5. Sit Back and Wait for the Emptyquotes to Roll In

Oh yeah, chill with a glass of room-temperature tap water and congratulate yourself on a job well done!
