After weeks of hard work, I’ve finally finished it!  The WordPress 2.6 User Guide is ready for the world.

I’m not going to make it available directly from the blog any more, however, as we’ve decided to roll things like this up into our Spectacu.la WordPress Themes Club as a resource.  Non-members can download and use the pdf, and members get the Word document in case they want to rebrand it.

I guess it won’t be long before WordPress 2.7 turns up, but in the meantime this document represents a significant move ahead of the old.  Revised in many areas, it helps most beginners learn the ropes.  It doesn’t cover things like installation or problem solving, but for the vast majority of users it’s just fine.  We originally wrote it for our own clients, so that they could understand how to manage content on their site.  It’s also designed for printing out - sometimes people prefer it that way, and a website isn’t always the best approach.  At least this way you can choose.
