HOWTO

A howto (also known as a how-to or how to) is a brief, informational tutorial (often list based, and/or bulletized) designed to help its readers learn how to accomplish a new task or skill. Howtos may also feature useful photos or video.

Howtos provide a simple, organized way for essential information to be shared on a wide variety of topics, including internet video, automotive maintenence, and food preservation as well as tips to improve productivity and organizational skills.

There are some very good blogs on the internet with howtos that include Lifehacker and Make: Blog.
