You see, that's the problem with most "beginner" books, they just aren't that descriptive. Even professional beginner books for that matter. The Llama book (learning Perl) is, at least by my taste, a perfect example of a bad beginners book, even though it's awesome now that I get all of it :) . Yeah it pays to use instructions like that.

Guess you're saving your best stuff for your book. How can the WP forums be your best inspiration when you’re so quick to cut down newbies who need a guiding hand?

However, I can become very mean with them if: - they are arrogant - they are demanding - not willing to do their homework - not reading the resources offered If any of the above is true, they simply don't deserve any help.

Granted there is a learning curve but, there exists at present a vacuum of information written at the level these bloggers can understand when it comes to making this transition. I hope you have some newbie bloggers proofread your book prior to it's editing an publication. If so then you will know how confusing the changeover can be for those who do not understand the jargon. Thanks, in advance, for listening. As a wordpress.com blogger I see many trying to make the transition from free hosted wordpress.com to managing their own wordpress.org installs.

To be honest, I didn't think till now about those "in transition". I might dedicate a chapter for them... Thanks again for the suggestion! Timethief,
