It might seem obvious to a new person to the Stack Overflow site to simply search for "How do I ask a question?" or "How do I ask a great question?" or "How do I use this site?" yet none of those really help that person do so.
Unless you KNOW to click the "?" icon for help those type searches really give you no help? Can we fix this to at least put forth some links to the site guidelines or something useful to help that new person? (something obvious as a small simple "How" button under the large "Ask a Question" button.
Hopefully this revision gets to the gist of my question.
People come to Stack overflow to 1. Find something already here. 2 Ask a question. 3 something else. ANYTHING that makes 1 or 2 harder/less intuitive in ANY way is a failure. THUS, the three "Tags", "Users", "Jobs" are MUCH MUCH less useful to those two primary things than a simple "How to ask" link might be in that place, clearly visible and to the "Users" objective - how easy to add a comment to a less than ideal question i.e. "See that "How to Ask" link on the left there? Click it, have fun."
