There's really nothing simple about setting up a pool unless you have the background. If you do, then you wouldn't need a guide, so it's kind of a catch 22.
Take a lesson from mu5tang/A1BITCOINPOOL - if you can't get it setup on your own, you really, really shouldn't run a pool because stuff breaks all the time and you need to know how to fix it.
This is very true, then you get a nice scammer tag like I did and people just keep bashing you even before you get your pool up and running. So it's totally not worth it. Just let all these other idiots deal with all the pain in the ass stuff and have them pay you to mine for them.
Let's not start that battle here.
