 Blogging for Dummies January 30, 2010

I am not exactly a techy but this book makes it sound so simple...I Love all the "...For Dummies" books.

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".

The Essential Family Guide to Borderline Personality Disorder: New Tools and Techniques to Stop Walking on Eggshells
This is the best "Dummies" book I've ever read. Its best feature is that it gives readers both the big picture (why are you blogging?) and fine detail (links to vital info).
I am planning a blog for my web site and books, and thanks to this book I went from knowing nothing to feeling fairly confident I know what I'm getting into. I got my copy from the library, but am considering buying a copy of my own as a resource.
Pretty good for brand new bloggers February 24, 2009

If you've been wondering what all the noise about blogging is about and how it might work for you, this is a very good starter book. There's sufficient information, in detail, to enable even a granny-aged novice like me to start and maintain a blog. It's well worth the cover price.
