Greetings and Salutations,

I love the book, it is is extremely clear and very helpful. As I am getting started with going through it I wanted to take a moment to check out the accompanying support materials. I appreciate all the hard work and effort that has gone into a project of this scope and I am certain that these are merely things that have been overlooked. Nonetheless, there are two spelling errors on the "Thoughts of a Lawyer" site that I wanted to pass along.

On the page, "About the Practice" Illinois is spelled incorrectly in the sentence: "Ms. Chapelle is a member of the Illionois Bar, and earned her B.A. at Michigan State University"

Also, in the article entitled, "The Felon I Didn't Represent," Winter is spelled incorrectly in the sentence, "I leave the judging to the judge, and try to give them the best legal representation possible, provided it doesn’t disrupt my golf game in the summer, my racquetball game in the winder, or my tanning sessions at the club (natch)."

Again, many thanks for your help and assistance. I am enjoying the text very much and will continue to stay in touch as the need presents itself.

Kindest Regards,

Mr. Carlen D. Cagle

I have the Second Edition , which I purchased about 5 years ago. Now that I am retired I decided to learn this wordpress. My question is, is there much difference in the 3rd edition from the second edition? I would hate to waste my time learning this 2nd edition content only to find it is obsolete.

Example

All of the examples are in grayed out typeface making it hard for me to read. I sent my first copy back to Amazon, but the replacement copy is no better.

Step 5

You don't tell the newbie how to get back to the editing screen. The preview may overlay the editing screen altogether. This could baffle a newbie who doesn't realize that the editing screen is still there underneath the preview.

"Preview" paragraph

The text says that Preview "shows your site dressed in this theme" but that's not what I see. I see a set of standard text in that theme -- not my site contents at all. What am I missing here?
