Hi, Yannick

I get where Diego’s coming from.

I’ve used a lot of WP plugins, done many installs, reinstalls etc. I don’t usually complain, but I don’t think I’ve ever encountered documentation with such a high degree of unawareness of how to talk to a medium-adept user like me–or the need for it.

I’m finally getting somewhere with Link Library after a lot of time and pain. The only reason I didn’t give up (as many probably have) was that I’m stubborn, and Link Library is clearly worth the struggle.

Some folks will say, as kperrone implied, “what’s the problem?” I’ve heard that a lot because I used to help tech clients “translate” their draft materials into language that could be read and understood by their own marketing and sales people. I would always start with: “how would you explain this to your 8 year old son?”

You’re obviously a very bright developer on the way to a successful career. But if you REALLY want to successful, I suggest you consider revising or rewriting your how-to materials–“translating” them into reasonably ordinary descriptive language. Link Library deserves it.

Here’s a hint: Your paragraph beginning, “The simplest thing…” would be a good starting point. When you knew you were talking to Diego, who was clueless, you started communicating.
