Not to suggest that any of you are dummies *grin* but after the fight I had with formatting (and now success! It has achieved Smashwords premium status!) I thought I’d like to help anyone else in the same position. The page runs through the process as I did it so I’m not suggesting this is THE way to do it but it may be able to help you if you’re stuck.
Also as mentioned on the page I have a ‘clean’ base document for people to start with which I’m very happy to e-mail out. So if you’re in the midst of formatting and find yourself stuck, or you know someone who’s stuck let them know about my page. It might help!

Thanks a ton! If I ever think of doing the kindle self publishing thing then I'll definitely take a look at it.
OMG, see this is why I didn't even consider self-publish. I throw my hands up to you for figuring this out and doing it so well. I would end up flinging my laptop out the window. An excellent post for anyone who has the patience. I am impressed by your formatting skillz. 🙂
I found your site through the blog hop and I think I may be in love with the fishies at the bottom and The Arrival sounds really interesting. I will add it to my goodreads endless list.
