Okay, I've gone through all of the online documentation on creating helpfiles that can be opened automatically with Help Viewer, and I thought I'd done it all correctly, but apparently I've missed something. Anyone think they can help? Here's what I've done so far.

1. In Project Builder, inside the Resources folder, I added a "Docs" folder.

2. Inside the "Docs" folder, I added a new empty file and called it "Help.html".

3. I edited Help.html so that its head section container the meta tag:
<META NAME="AppleTitle" content="EspressoBlog Help">

4. In the Target view, down under Info.plist Entries, in the Expert View, I added two new entries:
CFBundleHelpBookFolder - String, "Docs"
CFBundleHelpBookName - String, "EspressoBlog Help"

5. Then I compile, run...and I'm told there's no help available for my app. What am I missing? (It's probably obvious, and I'll no doubt kick myself when you wonderful people point it out to me. ;))

You need to add the Docs folder to the project properly. Go through Project->Add Files... and select your Docs folder and click Add. Now, in the second sheet that comes down, make sure you select "Create Folder References for any added folders"
