I am in the process of updating a WordPress manual I created a while ago. Hopefully I will finish it in a week or so. The manual is a couple of versions behind now.
The purpose of the manual is to help people quickly put up a simple self hosted wordpress site. This can be just for your blog or it can be a full fledged small business site or an affiliate site.
In the WordPress Manual I will teach you how to
- Find a good hosting company to host your WordPress site
- Install WordPress on your hosting account.
- Upload a WordPress Theme (or template)
- Resources of where you can get free themes
- Custom themes
- Must have plug ins
- Writing copy
- Uploading files to remote server
- Inserting images
- embedding videos
And much more….
I will be asking a small price for this manual as I have put in many hours of work. At a later stage I would like to set up a forum where people who have the manual can discuss the problems they face or solutions etc.
If you feel you are technically savvy enought to setup WorPress and build a website this manual will make it really easy with detailed screenshots and step-by-step guidance.
Watch this space. 
will you be offering this WP manual a PDF file?
Hi Chris
Yes the manual will be a PDF file. One of my large sites got hacked. Working on getting it back up. Read my post http://pixels.net.nz/wp/another-site-of-mine-got-hacked/.
Will get back to the manual next.
