This is a link post Am I being a link whoring bastard? WordPress user guide. I made this!
Not really sure if I should, but then when I think of all the bloody hours I put into this WordPress guide for no reward at all, and knowing that a lot of us here blog with WordPress or are maybe thinking about it... it might be interesting for you and I did make it.

It covers writing and usage but not installation - that's for another opus when I get some spare time.

And heck, to try and show that I'm not being a 100% commercial money grubbing oik - here's a direct link so you don't have to visit the site and be sold to:

WordPress 2.6 Guide in pdf format

I'm now fearing abuse O.o

This is a normal post I have no idea what this is on about...
but from the politeness of this post, should I ever need to refer to a WordPress user guide, I shall use yours.

No abuse here :)

This is a normal post Phew!
I can breathe again!

Been on b3ta for years, mostly lurkage, a few QOTWs, a few images, newsletter mention, and even a surprise frontpage. But I'm not really that active so I was nervous of putting something up that could appear to be self-promotion.

Of course, being like that is probably why trying to run a business has so far, in spite of plaudits, left me poorer than when I started. At least I didn't decide to go into banking and stocks....

This is a normal post You might be right!
Don't tell Sarah Palin.

S'Funny - the car dealership doesn't appear to have much trouble extracting £180 from me for what seems to be little more than an an oil change and check-over that takes an hour to do. Clearly my suit isn't shiny enough.

This is a normal post You could try sticking a little PayPal donate thing on the page - it might work.
Also - don't understand why the pdf is a freebie, but only members can get the word document. Is it some kind of user-editing thing?

EDIT ah - I see - the whole rebranding and redistributing thing. Shirley you keep your original branding on the thing though?

This is a normal post Nah - I used to write shareware...
and I know just how few people paid up. So little it wasn't worth the hassle of charging unless you did the freebie in such a way that they had to pay at some point.

This way if people want to use the document professionally then they have to pay because otherwise its branding would be advertising our stuff rather than theirs. But if they're skint, then they'll not pay and the branding won't be much of an issue.

I think that gives maximum benefit for all concerned, with the minimum of fuss. Maybe.

This is a normal post In Blogger, export all the data
Then go to Manage then Import in WordPress, and Bob's your creepy uncle who gave you sweets so old and sticky you couldn't get the wrapper off properly.
