Answering Questions

I've added a Frequently Asked Questions
section to RapidWeaver Classroom. This will
hopefully address most of the common questions
that may arise, and it's available through the
Questions? page and in
the members' area as well.
It's always funny doing FAQ's because the general idea is to have the answers to the questions ready before they are asked. So it requires thinking from an outside perspective, which is something that's needed when it comes to website design. Since you are generally creating a website for strangers to see, it's important to develop the navigation and content in a way that is best for them. It can be easy to leave out important information because of your own familiarity with the subject, while a new visitor might be completely lost because of the lack of details.
If you can't quite get the outside perspective personally, then it's a great idea to have friends or family unfamiliar with the site and its content to look things over just before making the website public. They'll generally be able to point out what is missing or inadequate.
So yeah, there's a new FAQ, and there's a little nugget of information to go along with it.
