Updating The Guides

[jring-o]

What do ya'll think about rebuilding the guides structure of the website?
What do you think needs to be added and what can be removed?

Personally, I think we need to simplify the instructions.

What if we condense everything onto one page of general instructions instead of three with very detailed information and several repeated instructions.

More steps (but fewer... you know what I mean?), more images, fewer blocks of text. One page will also expose the user to the three types of setup regardless of whichever they choose.

Page Layout:

• How to know if you should join a pool, go it alone, or set up an investor wallet.

1. Setting up the Gridcoin client

• Are you an investor? Set it up this way and you're done.
• Do you want to earn GRC by using a pool? Set it up this way and continue to step 2.
• Do you want to earn GRC by solo crunching? Set it up this way and continue to step 2.

2. Installing BOINC

3. Are you pool mining? Join a pool and continue

4. Choose a project

• Choosing projects on the pool
• Start crunching your first BOINC project -- solo (using WCG, LHC, Asteroids, or SETI as an example)
• Link to more detailed page about BOINC projects, how mag works, and general tidbits about choosing the right project for your situation

After the latest change, I believe these issues have been addressed @jring-o. Have you seen the remake of the GRC website?

Working on some updates to the guide, while not fully consolidated, I've reduced a lot of text in each section in the solo guide (it's not fully done yet)

Here's what one of the steps looks like before I've updated anything

Here's what the update currently is looking like
