| Apr 15, 2019 at 20:07 | comment | added | rogerdpack | Yes it's totally useful. It's like writing a blog post of your problems with answers, and who knows, sometimes I find myself even helping myself with (either blogging or logging stuff to SE) | |

So don’t ask them to vote on your contributions, if and when, you share them. Users have made this mistake in the past | |
| Apr 10, 2019 at 5:19 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @Jeff, that's one of those things where you know it when you see it. It would include very basic, common knowledge that would be the first thing people would learn doing even a cursory search for an answer. Think in terms of what kinds of questions & answers get upvoted vs. downvoted by the community. Well-crafted, useful posts get upvoted. Unclear posts of no benefit to anyone but the author get downvoted. But if you encountered a real-life problem that was important to you, and it took more digging to solve it than the first item that popped up on Google, that's probably a good candidate. | |

| Apr 10, 2019 at 5:03 | comment | added | Jeff | Thank you for the detailed response. You mentioned " Just don't fill up the site with trivial stuff." What is considered trivial? Would the post that I referenced be considered trivial? I'm just trying to figure out approximately where the line is drawn. | |
