Best way to Write an Article

Friends,

What is the best way to write an articles?

1) Writing big contents in paragraphs describing each and every portion of the subject
or
2) Placing the code and explaining the code completely with little bit explanation of the subject
or
3) Putting screen shots of each and every steps of the subject and giving clear idea for users to follow.

Till now i prefer the option no 3 and completed 100+ Articles. Just want to know how exactly the user's require the articles to be, and how exactly it reaches the end users so that it helps me as well the community to know how every one feel.

Open comments are very much expected :)
