Working with stanley

I have been spending time training Stanley. He has some experience with the web and is not a beginner which makes my job easier.
This is my plan, it's a four stage process... I'll let you know how it goes.
1. I plan to start with basic and general "internet principals": giving him an understanding of the technologies being used in the site.
2. Then I'll give him some very basic HTML training (even with the sites built in text editor, it's all HTML underneath and since HTML is so easily understood with proper instruction he might as well know it.)
3. Then I'll get him oriented with Drupal and how it works (I've already given him some documentation to look over I am basically going to outline what that documentation covers so he understands how the system works)
4. Finally I am going to go over the basics of how the BTM site works... (this is by far the most crutial portion as it is what he will be working with from day to day. If he understands nothing but this last section then he'll be fine. He will have a better foundation of understanding if he has that other stuff floating around in his head first)
I plan on doing this over the course of 4 days. Starting today. I'll do the last leason on Monday and let him play with the system for the rest of the week while I'm still here.
