This is still on my mind.

I did an exhaustive search for directories in my niche and I found several that haven’t been updated in years. I found one recent attempt that died. It has about 70 categories and about 20 links. Too bad, it has a good domain name and the layout looked nice.

The direction I am leaning towards is more like a how to directory rather than a directory of websites.

For example, say I have a category called widgets. The subcategories may be “painting a widget” or “remodeling a widget” and so on. Under the subcategories I will add the best sites/pages I find that help solve the problem.

This all stems from a problem I had with my widget a while back. All the information I needed was on the WWW, I just had to wade through too much muck to find it. There has to be a better way. If nothing else, it will be a good reference for me.

Does anyone else have any experience with a “how to” directory?
