Wondering if anyone has wrote a newbies guide to blogging here? I'm pretty stuck on Word Press. Already installed and played with it. I'm looking at starting a blog for my wife, actually a couple for niche subjects and throw in small ad sense (1). Not really trying to make that much but everything helps. In the future I may start one myself. Anyone have good advice to give a newbie at this?
Hey, I've just started a new forum (www.bloggertoblogger.com) and can give you in-depth advice on there if you'd like. Cheers!
This may help, it is a page I send new blog clients to after I setup their blog. It has links to other posts to use WordPress based on how I setup a blog with certain plugins but it may help you with some general things. It may be a bit fragmented and I really need to fix it up (lazy I guess). WordPress Optimization Guide http://www.wordpressmax.com/wordpress-optimization-guide

I don't hate to self promote, check out my sig as well =D SEO is crucial. Are you ready for the search engines?
"Wordpress for dummies" was released a while back, check on ebay/amazon. I haven't read it myself but the reviews seem to be okay... perfect for newbies!
