Hi Folks,
I just purchased and installed EB. I'm a very experienced J! user and am used to documentation systematically taking you through the various configuration of extensions.
I see no such thing here except for what appears to be a disjointed topic list here: http://stackideas.com/docs

Is this the only place for the documentation? is there a pdf somewhere with a logical implementation/configuration guide?

Thanks!

Gilles, the EasySocial docs which you may have already found are here: http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog

I am an avid fan and long time customer and supporter of StackIdeas Team, and I am trying to assist them by creating daily and weekly lesson guides for EasySocial, EasyBlog and EasyDiscuss. I jst got started this week with EasySocial and next week I will start adding lesson guides (video instructions) for EasyBlog. I will be creating more professional STEP by STEP Guides to show users how to step through Installing EasyBlog into their Joomla site and them setting up the EasyBlog Settings, and modules etc. That will start next week - starting March 17, 2014.

These quick screencast should get people started with EasyBlog:

You might find a few guides I created in the EasyBlog forums but they would probably be for an older version of EasyBlog.

To get you started here is some real quicky created quick start guides (done up real quick to give you an overview of where to get started)
