MILLER's SOAP FAQs
Nancy Miller's website has been online for quite some time now and continues to help beginner soap makers. It has soap recipes that you can try when just starting out. Nancy's Soap FAQ's page is particularly useful. She also has a troubleshooting guide if you get stuck with a problem that you can't seem to solve on your own.
SMALL NOTEBOOK
I like the presentation of Small Notebook of their tutorial called A Beginner's Guide to Soapmaking. It's very direct and uses a lot of images so you'll have a good idea about what the articles are talking about. It has four main sections that discuss tools, ingredients, process and finish.
