On the rare occasions I wear a tie I go for the Windsor, because it's the manliest knot in my opinion. Might as well go all the way when donning the man scarf.
Anyways, to me at least the key part is the tightening. Using the guide willravel linked, I go through steps 5-6 fairly loosely, and then go back and really shape the "triangle" bit by carefully pushing/pulling on both the sides of the tie. Those who tie the knot and then tighten it just by holding the knot and pulling on the wide end and still end up with a neat knot, I have no idea how they do it.
