This is a tutorial blog post about how to create offline wallets and offline transactions in "DIY" style using simple tools, for users who may prefer to avoid using more heavy-duty tools like Armory or Electrum (which may be more difficult for the user to verify).
This post recommends using Diceware to generate passcode entropy, so that the user doesn't have to verify the integrity of their random-number generator. It includes a simple (and easily-verified) Python script for translating sequences of die rolls into passphrases or private keys.

P.S. Most of the blog post was written before the blockchain fork incident, so I do not address it. Anyway, it does not really affect anything said here.
