Looks like it could be a useful tutorial.
Unfortunately, I wish the author had chosen a better webpage authoring app. It's unreadable on any of my machines (see sample below). It's mangled in both IE and FF.
I have my display properties set to use large fonts (120%), and most webpages don't seem to have a problem with that. In this case, a look at the underlying code shows his page layout is done with tables of fixed cellsizes, which do not adjust for fonts other than the size on the author's computer. The result is the text spills out of the too-small cells.
On another note, how many of you have the Papyrus font installed? The author specified that font for the chapter titles. I happen to like that font so it is installed on my computers, but I wonder how widespread that is. I wonder if the author realizes a lot of people may not be seeing it that way.
