As we all know, it takes a wierd obsidian design and a flint and steel to make it into the Nether. Now tell me, how in the world would someone that doesn't care to go to the wiki or the forum figure out how to make a Nether Portal? How would they even know it existed? Minecraft needs hints for things in-game.
The thing is, I know a lot of people that don't want to cheat by looking up things. But that's just the thing. If they don't cheat, they can't figure out anything. I don't think it's very fun to know every single crafting recipe and algorithm in the game before even playing.

Then just ask a friend.
Here's how your thinking should go....
You: What's a nether portal? Don't tell me how to make it exactly
Friend: It's a frame that you ignite that takes you to the nether, made by materials you can get by flooding lava pits

Frame--> Picture Frame--> Rectangle--> Rectangular Shape
Flooding Lava Pits--> Water+Lava--> Obsidian --> Obsidian made
Rectangular Shape+ Obsidian Made= Obsidian Rectangular that you ignite!
Ask a friend that obviously played Minecraft. Then he could look for you.
It would be illogical to ask him then, now wouldn't it?
Because it breaks your post in two.
Either way, you could just still ask a friend, or question this; how did you ever find out that 4 wood planks made a crafting table?
What about all of those crafting recipies that you "didn't cheat" on?
