Caption Maker Resource

For as long as I've been making captions, I've worked on improving them.  Each one is a new attempt and I've spent a lot of time talking with others about it.  And it's recently become something I've wanted to see more improvement overall.

As it turns out, Jezebel over at Rachel's Haven has been working on some Tips & Tutorials for the basics.  If you have ever seen her work, you know she's quite skilled.  I approached her about making a tutorial series for caption makers that will serve as a basic tool for beginners and she allowed me to post PDF's of her tutorials.  She's even provided tips image examples so it should be simple to follow.  I hope to ask a few other people  to add to the resource so that it evolves along with captioners.
