Basics on shooting photos for a panorama??

Hello,
I have recently written a tutorial for amateurs and beginners (like myself) to help them shoot their panoramas correctly.
Since I'm a beginner too, I would like to know if there's a basic rule that I've missed or if I said something incorrect.
Please note that I was not planning on covering everything, just the basic stuff to have a good (not perfect) panorama.
The link to the tutorial is www.efkhoury.com/content/taking-photos-panoramas-...
I appreciate your feedback and your rating 
Best,
efkhoury

Hello,
you forgot the most important three things:
White balance, aperture and focus, everything has to be set to manual and must not be changed during taking the photos.
Nice you try to set up this thing.

Sorry for being late, I'm trying to show amateurs and casual people the basic things to pay attention to when taking photos for panoramas, my audience is not the pro users, instead I wanted their opinion on whether there's something I should include.

Hi,
Thanks for your input, I will soon update my post!
To be honest, I never paid attention to them while taking photos myself :-P but I surely will now!

Sorry, I think I have to set it more precise:
Whitebalance: switch of the automatic and set it manually to your light situation.
Aperture: set your camera to aperture modus and choose for a special aperture. For the best f/8 or f/11, cause most lenses "do their best" at these settings. Then turn around and watch how shutter speed changes.
Take the middle of it, set you the camera to manual modus and set your chosen shutter speed.
Focus: set your focus to manual, choose the hyperfocal distance for the chosen aperture.
Hope this makes it a little more clear, you may add links to calculators.

Focus: set the camera to manual focus, and set the focus to hyperfocal distance of your chosen aperture.

Thanks a lot for your explanations, I've added them to the article. I've also labeled them as "advanced".
I hope I understood the steps correctly.
I want to give you credit in the article for these tips but I don't how to link to you or write about you.
I'd appreciate if you could tell me, either here or by email to webmaster (_at_) efkhoury (_dot_) com
