Some ideas, mainly just making the text more concise and (I think) 
easier to read by cutting down on verbiage and being clearer about what 
each step is...

Change:

"The following steps will help you to start enjoying your new site:"

to

"4 Steps to start enjoying your new site:"

Change:

"To begin, create the first account. This account will have full 
administration rights and will allow you to configure your website."

to

"1. <strong>Create administration account</strong> <br />
The first account you <link>create</link> will have full administration 
rights and will allow you to configure your website."

Change:

"Once logged in, visit the administration section. This allows you to 
make customizations to your site, such as changing your website's 
configuration."

to

"2. <strong>Go to Administration</strong><br />
Once logged in, visit the <link>administration</link> section to 
configure your website."


Change:

"Next, visit the module list and enable features which suit your 
website's needs. You may also find additional modules in the Drupal 
Modules downloads section."

to

"3. <strong>Configure modules</strong><br />
Next, visit the <link>module list</link> and enable features which suit 
your website's needs. You may also find additional modules in the 
Drupal Modules downloads section."

Change:


"To change your website's "look and feel," visit the themes section. 
You may choose from one of the included themes, download additional 
themes from the Drupal downloads section or modify a theme to suit your 
needs."

to

"4. <strong>Configure themes</strong><br />
To change your website's "look and feel," visit the <link>themes 
section</link>. You may choose from one of the included themes, 
download additional themes from the Drupal downloads section or modify 
a theme to suit your needs."

Course, this would be much more useful if it was in a block, so the 
user didn't need to keep going back to the home page to read the next 
step.

Hope this helps ;-)


Best regards,

Robert
