I wrote some documentation for my users on how to use the htmlarea that may be helpful to someone else. http://drumbeatinsight.com/howtopost. You can use it on your site as is or as a starting point for your own. If you add more to it post a link here.

I also add this text (below) to my story settings page (admin > configuration > modules > story) that gives my users general instructions.

***************************************************
Submit story
Your story must be at least 10 words long. Any links to pages outside of the site must open in a new window. Always select the a category or your posts will not show up at all. Your post will appear in that category.

Submission Queue
After you post your story it will be listed in the moderation queue. This is where stories get a chance to be on the front page. If your post receives enough points (each person gets one point) it will move to the front page. It is up to you to visit the submission queue from time to time and vote on the what should appear on the front page.
