How to use this book

This book is not for bedside reading; it's a hands-on instruction manual. It's meant to be read sequentially. You'll get the most out of it if you build your website step-by-step as you read it from end-to-end. If this is your first attempt with building a website with Office Live Small Business, that would be the natural progression for you.

If you already have an Office Live Small Business website, you might be tempted to read random sections of this book to tweak your website. Random tweaking is a surefire recipe for making a complete mess of your website. Therefore, I strongly recommend against doing so. Of course, you don't have to throw away what you already have, but I recommend that you start your tweaking process with Chapter 1. As someone who's already familiar with Office Live Small Business, you'll be able to zip through the book at a faster clip than first-timers.
