I love #ObsidianMD. However, many enthusiasts in the space tend to create 20- to 30-minute tutorials. (Love you guys, but ain't got no time for that! ;P)

I'm a visual learner, so videos are immensely valuable to me. However, I am not convinced that text-based documentation will ever go away.

Here's the documentation I wrote for Notebook Navigator, a very popular Obsidian plug-in that I'm still using.

At first, I found the UI complex, but breaking it down in a document helped me learn-up the plug-in quickly. (The best way to learn is to teach someone else!)

If you use Obsidian, you may find my guide for Notebook Navigator useful: https://elizabethtai.com/2025/11/25/how-to-use-notebook-navigator-obsidian-community-plug-in/

PS: One of my dream pet projects is to create a documentation site from something like #Astro for the various community plug-ins out there. But I'm so busy I don't have time to even start. One day!

🐘 Αποκωδικοποιώντας τα #NULL!, #VALUE! και #REF! στο @ONLYOFFICE

Στο νέο post:

🔹 Γιατί η =SUM(A1:A5 C1:C5) επιστρέφει #NULL!
🔹 Το #VALUE! από αόρατα spaces ή αριθμούς ως κείμενο (και πώς τα φτιάχνει η VALUE() & TRIM() )
🔹 Το #REF! – ο "δολοφόνος" όταν διαγράφετε γραμμές

👉 Όλα αυτά, με παραδείγματα, στο άρθρο του ONLYOFFICE (Open Source, δωρεάν, συμβατό με .xlsx)

To elaborate more on the corporate writing thing - I was a little too glib in saying that it's the same for writers. Unlike engineers, our work doesn't "break" noticeably. (Though I'd say a lawsuit is a pretty good wake up call lol)

When content "breaks", it's just a slow erosion of brand trust and messaging. It would probably take longer for some corporations to understand the value of content strategists, content designers, tech writers etc.

Despite AI infiltrating every aspect of the writing profession in the corporate field, there's really no replacing editorial judgement and writing flair, which is hard to define.

My concern remains the same: If no junior writers are hired, who can be these specialist writers?

I began my writing career doing the most mundane, achingly boring things. I sharpened my editing skills because at the newspaper, senior editors didn't want to edit submissions from the public, some of them from children. (Let's just say I learned A LOT from editing these submissions.)

Then I wrote "updates" from endless amounts of badly written press releases.

I interviewed people the more flashy journos didn't want to interview.

All these added to my experience.

How do we ensure working writers get the training I did?
