<p>I have a question about my Cross Validated post: <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/616166/how-to-set-up-my-workflow-and-data-for-my-first-network-model">How to set up my workflow and data for my first network model</a></p>

<p>Hello,<br />
I would appreciate help.  I am trying to ask a question, but I don't understand what I need to do differently.  The feedback is make it more focused.  Ok... how?  I've read the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask">https://stats.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask</a>  3 times now.</p>
<p>This is my thinking:</p>
<ul>
<li>Search: well, I've been online all week trying to learn what I need to do, so I think I've gotten this part out of the way.</li>
<li>Be on topic: For me, the question asks about setting up an initial dataframe for my network. I think of a set-up as the pseudo-code phase.  Plan, make an outline, and try to implement.  My post explains my plan and outline.  I'm asking if this the correct way to think about it.</li>
<li>Be specific: My question is, did I do this right?  However, looking back at it, did I ask too many questions pertaining to the one topic I'm talking about?  I'm asking about the whole setup, hence the one topic.  So should I break each question into a different post?</li>
<li>Make it relevant to others:  I'm assuming if you aren't interested in the topic, then you don't need to answer.</li>
<li>Keep an open mind:  That I've definitely got.  I am one those people that learn from making mistakes, and I make a lot of them.  But I can't fix them unless I understand how to fix them.</li>
</ul>
<p>So that is what this question is about.  Please help me understand what I can do better so that I can ask if my setup to build my network is correct.</p>
<p>You guys have been doing this stuff for a very long time and understand all the aspects to it.  I am new to the site, new to programming, new to building a network.  It means I don't know what I'm talking about enough to maybe put it into a precise question.  I don't know what I have to ask to get the answer I'm looking for.  Does that make sense?</p>
