I've been using it for less than 6months. the hardest parts for me were the
CSS, skins, and layout pages, and being totally overwhelmed with how much it
could do! The two things that helped me were my good friend Marilyn (sorry,
I can't share her!) and the forum. They have an excellent forum and the
link is available from the Help menu. They also have several tutorial
videos in the help. That's all I've used and I'm producing WebHelp, WebHelp
Mobile, and PDF.
