Transferring files from my computer to the hosting server through an ftp client was a nightmare. The section on this was too brief and without the necessary detail to “self-host”. I got a basic blog up and running (after FINALLY installing WordPress onto GoDaddy) but was unable to do a simple thing like change the theme. This simple task was so overwhelming that there is NO WAY I would try to do anything else. I was on the Wordpress.org website in the forums, on the phone with my hosting service…I finally gave up. I never did get the theme changed.
If you aren’t a techie, my advice is to go with a website like Blogger or Wordpress.com if you want something simple like a family blog. Otherwise, you might want to hire this one out. Trying to build a blog with Wordpress is a waste of time for the average Joe.

I presume all of the written content is fine. At ;least I can read it easily with my Kindle 2My problem is with the tables, graphs, and charts. I can’t see them well enough to read them. Some are just barely adequate, but most is useless. That really negates the benefits of having a Kindle version. I will request a refund today – unless someone can explain how I can make the graphics show up more clearly.

This is a good book. This second version is better than the first, as the third will surpass this edition. This book is detailed, informative and cheap. Don’t waste time, just buy it…
