Daniel Bashaw replied to Megg Brown's discussion CMS training materials -- are printed manuals worth it?"Your blog and feed approach to CMS training and support sounds like it will be very efficient... We are going to be rolling out a new WordPress multisite network, and that is definitely something I'll adopt as well. Thanks for the tip!"

When you factor in maintenance and updating of the manual, they are really not worth the effort. Contextual online help, along with a…"
