What does "A Backwards Guide" mean? Please advise.

Hi,

It's not a standard phrase. It sounds like an attempt at humour.

The meaning is not totally clear. In simple terms, a guide commonly tells you how to do something.

Perhaps this one tells you how not to do something?

I suggest you just read the blog, and see what he is writing about.

Best wishes, Clive
