Stack Overflow/Stack Exchange used to be such a good site for this - I'd just ask the simplest kind of question on how to do it and then answer it myself a few days later. It was great because SO would show up on a search; it ranked well on Google unlike personal blogs and public wikis. As a bonus, other people also maintain the answer and it stays up to date.

This was one of my favorites: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2757107/developing-for-a...

It was a checklist and people would just add on to the checklist as things changed.

Alas, it's not practical to do this anymore, because you'd just get downvoted to -13 under the current administration. Don't build atop other people's platforms, I guess.
