John, I think you outline some good steps on how to take a blog and prepare it for use. I would like to see more help from WordPress.org on how to set up a landing page site, or a photo-based site, or other special sites. I get that the commercial end of the business gets a lot of attention, but I bet that most of the WordPress websites in the world are not taking advantage of/using those business-focused features. I was looking for a post from someone in Europe on why they were not going to WordCamp EU this year, the person had a lot of good examples of other types of WordPress sites.
