I think that doing a somewhat more extensive soldering guide would be a good
idea. I'm sure I'm not the only person whose first diy experience was an
MOTM kit, & I know I'm not the only one out there with a pretty limited
understanding of electronics.

Though I'm getting better as a solder jockey (I think), there are some
things I still don't do all that
well (eg solder wires to 1/4" jacks). & yes, I've soldered an IC in
backwards. Damn, did I feel stupid.

& I'm sure a handy tip here or there could help to improve my soldering
technique a good deal.
