Firstly, common complaints…
-
The category is wrong!
I’ll leave this up to the mods. This could potentially be put in resources, since it shares tips, but at the same times it’s about making your resource better so… I haven’t debated further. -
This is a copy of [post]!
Compare the titles, titles can make a HUGE difference in comparisons, and I believe you’d be talking about making your tutorials/resources better cosmetic-wise, which is not what I am aiming for in this topic.
And read the logo and banner section carefully…
Introduction
Hello everyone! I’ve made multiple resources and tutorials in the past, and I’ve gradually learned on how to make better posts, thanks to this awesome community.
I will try to share these ideas and see if you can improve your own posts.
I have to emphasize this though, PLEASE don’t leave useless comments, add suggestions so I can improve this post over time, and let others know more tips and tricks. Anyways, let’s get into the tutorial.
1 - Logos & Banners
A logo or banner is a great way to show creativity. It also can display what your plugin is about, perhaps with a couple of screenshots. A good example would be a logo I made for FreeFlyHaker56:
RoTweener obviously relates to tweens (moving), so I added a grid of diagonal arrow icons which represent moving. This is what most developers do, and it works nicely!
Remember to use a unique font and color scheme. You can get Roblox’s fonts by going to %LocalAppData%\Roblox, and going to Version > Content > Fonts.
2 - Using Short Words & Less Text
You may want to add a lot of information about your resource but that’s what dropdowns are for!
You could show things like features...
- This feature
A video or screenshot of it
Here’s an example of exactly what NOT to do:
Summarize, and summarize. It’ll help a lot.
3 - Add interactive buttons
A button could lead to your discord, youtube channel, or even more info about your resource. Their a great way of easily minimizing your post.
If you’re not familiar with markdown, you can have some examples:
<div align="center">
<a href="https://roblox.com/" rel="Click to download">![download_icon (1)|60x60](upload://1LcH5r9MxgWT613gla77sIbnw0V.png)</a>
</div>
…which produces:
A very nice looking download icon! You can also do this:<div align="center">
<a href="https://roblox.com/" rel="Click to download">![download_icon (1)|60x60](upload://6K9TR6lYP8GJfYzWpkYbLVH2iyh.png) </a><a href="https://youtube.com/" rel="Click to download">![YouTube_social_red_circle_(2017).svg|60x60](upload://rk8OLLwDAQQTzLi4TAtFz7GKaE5.png)</a>
</div>
…which stacks them together! Neat!
Ending
That’s about it for now! If you have any more tips feel free to share them in the comments. This was a bit of a short post since I want to keep it… less cluttered and simple.
