Hmmm. Perhaps. The boat was missed when the author's own review was not published here.
Why would one want to send his readers to another site (without an affiliation)? Except for reference.

Would newbies really be reading the WPNews from their WP site's dashboard to find an Idiot's guide (how I landed here)? Not likely.

If they are, I recommend Sitepoint's "Build Your Own Wicked WordPress Themes". It covers the overview of WP and leads one to building his/her site.
