With the usual addenum of simple as possible but no simplier.  Error
messages should be included verbatim, problems should be described
fully, and it's always nice to have a represenative version of the XML
input and output expect.

Avoid statements like: "It didn't work.", "Nothing happened.", "I
think my processor is broken, this XSLT should work, correct?"
(without giving input XML).

Instead use statements like "I tried running my script but it produced
no output except for root element.  Here is input XML .. and I'd like
to output it like ... and here is my XSLT that doesn't work."

Trying simplified versions of problems before posting has always been
known to lead to solutions ;).

I tend to prefer a problem statement at top and then any additional
info below, but that's just me. I think I've heard others say they
like the reverse.

Not saying that the Original Poster committed any of these sins, but
while we're doling out advice on postings I figured I'd put my own
2-cents in.
