>How to stackoverflow:
Step 1) describe your problem the first way you think about it.
>closed for being too specific.
Step 2) assume you're doing one thing wrong and ask how you're supposed to do it so someone tells you the right way.
>closed for being too vague / duplicate.
Step 3) remember that it's a Q&A site and it likes questions that people can google, so spend at least 1 hour trying to find the most generic way to explain your problem so it can give SO those sweet Google hits and someone answers you.
