Helpful (or not so helpful) Hints: How to spot Orion

This post should be helpful to those of you that have no Astrological talent at all. Or not. Even if you do have Astrological talent, this might be a bit helpful.
I just spotted the constellation Orion for the first time last year. Amazing right?
So to help those who still can't see him I have decided to point him out to you.
Orion is a Northern Hemisphere Constellation that only appears during the winter and late fall. He is one of the more simple constellations. The easiest way to spot him is to look for his belt. See?

The three stars in the middle that are in a line act as his belt. If you can spot that then you've pretty much got it down. Below is a chart showing all the stars involved with Orion and some of their names.
