I really like these books, I just wish they didn’t say ‘for Dummies.’ I own many of the ‘Dummies’ books and find all of them helpful. I really appreciate the shortcut sheets included in each book. Of the few books and online sources I could find on blogging, this one was the most user friendly.

This is a book for those who are completely new to the world of Blogging(hence the title.) It was broken into very understandable chapters, and even if you’re pretty intermediate in all things web-related, this book will give you some good advice.

This is a great book for people who want to learn wordpress. The only reason I do not give it a 5 is because it is dated. That is not the fault of the author, but simply how fast Wordpress has evolved. It would be very difficult for any book to keep up with fluid changes of an online medium. The best reccomendation for learning wordpress is the same advice for learning a language. Jump in! Textbooks cannot replace the learning that comes from experience.

I first checked out the 2005 version of this book from the library, found it helpful, as a complete novice interested in starting a blog. I bought my own copy of the 2008 version, thinking it would be updated.
On the one hand, I can say that this book helped me toward starting a blog. On the other hand, once I had actually started a blog and knew more, I saw the book’s shortcomings. There are a lot of typos in the book. It was not adequately proofread. Which means some of the content may also be unreliable. The newer version had not corrected any of the errors, as far as I could see. It had still not been proofread. Though I give it high marks for clear and complete explanations in general, I did find one point on which it failed to explain a procedure on Blogger.com. The Blogger website provided a clearer and more thorough tutorial on “Comments”.
