That's pretty much helping my traffic. Yes, do it :)

Yes and HTML based.

But not to American. We like Euros and Yen too ;)

Flash tutorials are key here. A written tutorial with lots of 
screenshots is a good compliment to a Flash tutorial.

I created a template install page that has as few words as possible... 
mostly screenshots. If someone gets stuck at a step I make another 
screenshot with a few more words. This process is repeated until an 
idiot can figure it out :)
