  • Adequate context for others reading your question. Why you're trying to do something. What you're doing in order to achieve.
  • Adequate information of what you've tried out so far. I've tried to do foo, then tried bar, but that did not work either, so I'm asking for support here. See Asking Questions The Smart Way
