How to ask questions

mellis,

I would add a "Need More Information" link to each of the troubleshooting sections that perform a google search of the arduino.cc site with the appropriate keywords. I believe that the biggest problem that beginners have to using search function is not knowing what keywords to use. as an example something like below for the uploading question

http://www.google.com/search?as_q=upload+sketch&hl=en&num=20&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=arduino.cc&as_rights=&safe=images
