Generally, I kept a record of troubleshooting steps and issues in my google doc or on my local Linux box that was backup to my USB and local server, secured in the datacenter.  With the abundant resources already bombarded the net, I didn’t think it was necessary to replicate my notes onto a website or blog.  Well, not until my wife pointed out there would probably scholar out there who could stumble upon and benefit from my notes.  She made a valid point- give back and share with the community.
The first scholar was my wife, who wanted to learn Linux.
With that said, it’s better late than never.
