Hi ArcDragon.
Loved this guide, I will donate some small change to you for your efforts, and will encourage others to do so, hopefully it will add up :) It rivals Halada's mining guide in it's accessibility and quality.
I'm not sure if this is the thread you wanted feedback in, so let me know if i should put it elsewhere.
Even tho I am a 4 million SP player, and Apoc was rleased right around the time i joined the game, I have spent much of my time in WH space, as the corp i joined set up a POS early on.
Currently we are residing in our 2nd uks - Class 2 UKS with a 'Static' B274, and using it as a jump off point to other systems. I would be interested how rare a static highsec hole is, and whether or not we are onto a good thing. I for one think it is very nice being able to 0.5+ jump to empire anytime.
We have had some amazing Highsec WH space spawns, including once having a direct WH, right ontop of one of the big Trade hubs, and once we had one 1 jump from Jita. Handy for selling loot 
The only objection I have with your guide is that it does not really cover setting up a POS for a young player corp. Your guide seems to indicate that Class 1-3 wh's are not really worth the effort, and for old players i agree, but for young mining/pvp corps they can be very very profitable. Having access to Ark, Bist etc for your young miner makes the game far more exciting than scratching around mining Veld in Empire!
Whilst my experience parralels your guide very closeley in terms of WH's and sites (although i have never entered into class4+ combat) there is one word of warning I think you should add to your section on wormholes. At least 3 times I have seen a WH dissapear right infront of my eyes despite having 25%+ life left and having 25%+ capacity left. Is this a bug or do other players have experience with WH's imploding premetureley? Once this happened right after I jumped into a neighboring UKS to haul some ore. I didn't have a probe lancher on my ship at the time. I learnt the hard way: ALLWAYS equip a scan probe launcher on your ship if you are leaving your system!
anyway, thankyou for this great guide.
