Paul Graham, who I often quote becuase of his ideas in August 2002 for using bayesian algorithm to combat spam. Anyway, he has a new topic which is writing, and I agree fully. He describes the traditional essay and why the old format is deprecated and then describes a better method. When I started writing for these web pages, I borrowed some of my dad's college writing handbooks to refresh my memory, but they did not address my confusions. Such as, why the conclusion was supposed to be similar to the introduction. Well, Paul's essay addresses my concerns and gives a better template than anything I have seen so far. After I read this again, I think I will try again at writing some essays and let you know how it goes.
