[wp-docs] WordPress Lessons info ready to release

[lorelle at cameraontheroad.com]

I've emailed Matt the release for the WordPress Lessons, and I expect them 
to get a lot of attention.  Just so you know, and might want to use, here is 
the press release.  If you would like to post it on your site, feel free to 
help spread the word.  Edit, slice, dice, and rearrange however you want to 
customize the end result so we don't have a bunch of repeated info out 
there.

Also, thanks to everyone (and you know who you are) who jumped in during the 
last few days to crunch out some new HOT articles for the Lessons and did 
great editing of the material so it will be as high caliber as possible. 
We're still looking for new WordPress Lesson articles and if you would like 
to contribute, visit my user page at 
http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Lorelle/Articles_for_WordPress_Lessons for a 
list of what we're looking for, a signup area, and information on how this 
all works.

WordPress Lessons
While < a href="http://www.wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> comes ready-to-use 
out of the box, if you are tempted to customize your WordPress site, a peek 
under the hood might intimidate you. Suddenly your simple desire to change a 
font, change the way categories are displayed, add text to the front page 
that won't appear on any other pages, or even figure out how to link from 
one post to another seems a daunting task in the face of all that PHP, HTML 
and CSS code.
Don't worry. WordPress is here to help. The official documentation site, <a 
href="http://codex.wordpress.org/">The WordPress Codex</a>, has just opened 
a new section dedicated to helping beginner and intermediate WordPress users
