Websites: A Manual for the Basically Clueless

Danae,
There are, in some forums, people who are blunt and insulting or just a jerk.That may not be their intention, but it is the result.
I appaud your return post.
I do think there is a market for what you`re trying to do... if you have any questions, do not hesitiate to contact me.
Sinecerly, Roland

To clarify my absense from SuN, I stayed away because I was preparing for and meeting with four potential clients, and I needed to keep focused on that and not on being mad at the woman who decided to make false accusations about me and my website design.  I was shocked that someone who doesn`t know me and isn`t even a competitor would come along and say such things.  She did not provide anything valuable in her post, except to alert me that I should remove a couple of comment tags that the HTML color-coder puts in automatically.  (She somehow thought that this was evidence that I had stolen my design from someone else, though, so it was insulting more than helpful.)  Jeff, perhaps you have never had trouble with other people`s negative words affecting you emotionally, or perhaps you`ve learned to ignore the unhelpful and see only the helpful, in which case you are admirable.  I have not toughened my skin that much yet.
Craig, I think if the only negative review you got on your book was because the reader was expecting something else, you should be pretty happy.  It`s when your target audience thinks you stink that you should really be concerned.
Jeff--the idea I am asking for feedback on IS a book idea, and at some point in this thread there was discussion that the best vehicle might be a print version.  Also, as I mentioned in my last post, more market research would be useful.  I was hoping to do some of that here, but I realize that I won`t find many of the people who need that book here.  I threw out an idea, some people embraced it, others kicked it around, and now I should take it elsewhere to see what happens.  Wow, $10,000 of advice.  I feel so important.
Onthebeach--you make a good point that it`s difficult to know what level of skill to assume.  In my head I have been assuming that the reader uses a computer regularly for basic tasks, uses email, and occasionally uses the Internet.  So, no "how to work a mouse" chapters.

I think you have a good idea for your book. I would focus on more than just he basics though, because a lot of the basics can be found easily online if one just looks in the right places. A book that focuses more on the marketing aspects of websites would be pretty helpful I think. So many people have nice sites but they just aren't being found in Google searches. Tying in a little bit about how social media can help them to promote their sites would be a good idea too. Good luck with it!
