Writing this because I saw we needed one, first off your going to open either notepad or wordpad, and your going to paste the following into it:

#TITLE:;
#SUBTITLE:;
#ARTIST:;
#TITLETRANSLIT:;
#SUBTITLETRANSLIT:;
#ARTISTTRANSLIT:;
#CREDIT:;
#BANNER:;
#BACKGROUND:;
#CDTITLE:;
#MUSIC:;
#MUSICBYTES:0;
#MUSICLENGTH:;
#OFFSET:;
#SAMPLESTART:;
#SAMPLELENGTH:;
#SELECTABLE:YES;
#BPMS:0.000=;
#STOPS:;
#BGCHANGES:;

go on and save the document as all types and save the extension as .sm... now your going to go fill in the following between the : and ; of all those captions

#TITLE:;
the name of the song goes here

#SUBTITLE:;
anything you want written between the songname or arist goes here

#ARTIST:;
artist name goes here

#TITLETRANSLIT:;
if you used japanese for the title, english goes here

#SUBTITLETRANSLIT:;
same if you used a jp subtitle

#ARTISTTRANSLIT:;
aaand once again same if you used a jp artist

#CREDIT:;
you go here.

#BANNER:;
the filename of your banner goes here (ex: banner.png)

#BACKGROUND:;
same as banner, but whatever you have for the bgimage

#CDTITLE:;

#MUSIC:;
the name of the MP3 your using goes here (ex:song.mp3)

#OFFSET:;
#SAMPLESTART:;
#SAMPLELENGTH:;
dont worry with these just yet

#SELECTABLE:YES;
do NOT change this unless your writing it for a course :<

#BPMS:0.000=;
song bpm goes after 0.000 (ex 0.000=120.000; this is for a BPM of 120)

#STOPS:;
#BGCHANGES:;
don't worry with these either

from here, you can take the .sm file you created and plop it into a folder with the MP3, the banner, and the background, and if you choose a video file that will play in the background.. move this folder into the stepmania/songs directory and place it in a group folder. After that boot stepman up and go to the edit songs option, from here you can create new stepcharts with ease using the stepmaker. A couple other things you can know

#SELECTABLE:ROULETTE;
If you want the song to only come up when you pick the roulette option, you can place this in the place of #SELECTABLE:YES; ..but for it to work you need the Hidden Songs option in the operator to be set to yes.

for those of you who have trouble making the basic file OR your just lazy: have a template you can just edit in notepad/wordpad:
