Quality or Quantity
We'd rather have a few great DIYs than a lot of crappy ones. DIY instructions must be understandable and accurate or else it doesn't help anyone. Measure twice and post once!
Step by Step
A good DIY is all about balance. Too many steps and the DIY is a chore to follow, too few and each step will be very dense. We allow up to 99 steps in a single DIY, we encourage you NOT to use them all.
Good Photos & Bad Photos
Photos should be clear, focused and well lit. All photos must be originals and not taken from any site without the permission of the owner. If recieve notice that an image has been copied or stolen, we will take down the DIY in accordance with our Terms of Service.
Saving and Editing
DIYs cannot be editted once they are published. If you are unsure about a step in a DIY, you can save it and go back to make changes from your profile page.
