Ethernet Cables

Your blog is on google as one of the top responses for "How to Build an Ethernet Cord"

(It really isn't, we're playing pretend).

This post needs to have the isntructions on how to build an ethernet cord (you may have changed your directions after creating your own cord!) Give instructions on your blog on how to create an ethernet cord just as though the person reading it had no idea what an ethernet cable was, what to use, or how to assemble it!

First : Explain the purpose of the ethernet cable.

Second: Materials needed

Third: Instructions (INCLUDE COLORS! You may want to change the font color to match for the order.. just an idea.)

Fourth: How to test

Fifth: Give a personal statment about the first time you created an ethernet cable - How hard was it? How many times did you mess up? What would you do differently now that you have a correct cord?

Sixth: Words of encouragement to the new ethernet cable builder :)

Seventh: Include at least one photo of an ethernet cable (one that looks like yours!)
