Cool! Are you going to discuss how to go about setting it up
on one's
own server? If so, there are so many factors involved, but I
think it
would be really helpful if you found a simple way to explain
it.
It looks like it's going to be a blogging book with a focus
on
Mephisto, no? That's just the feeling I get from the
emphasis on
themes ("what to consider when choosing a theme")
and the blogging
specifics. Still, I think it's a great idea... it could
really help
the Mephisto community grow.
