Where / How to find out which shares consistently pay high dividends.

As above really, looking to invest a lump sum into steady shares that consistently pay good dividends. Where can I go for a beginners guide to learn about this.

Thanks.

Have a look on the Motley Fool boards, HYP Practical, frequent posts from a community of people who try to maintain a growing income from higher yield shares, mainly FTSE 350. Lots of other interesting investing boards and articles.

This site - TopYields - lists highest dividend payers & highest dividend cover.

FTSE 100: http://www.topyields.nl/Top-dividend-yields-of-FTSE100.php

FTSE 250: http://www.topyields.nl/Top-250-dividend-yields.php

TopYields is OK as a rough guide but do check that the site has been updated & double check info is correct.

Thanks to both of you.

That's pointed me in the right direction.
