Customer Reviews: Read 19 more reviews... Impressive August 15, 2008 This book has been the starting point for my journey on blogging. It is an excellent book. The layout is easy to follow and it gives all the information you need. Great for a beginner like me. Most impressed. Jumbled up- Unclear July 31, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful The material available at Wordpress after you install it is much clear than this Dummies book. I got the feeling the author threw it together without considering the needs of the reader. WordPress For Dummies July 30, 2008 Worthwhile book, plenty of content in a single title. If your really new to Wordpress, this is the book for you. If your not in a hurry, wait for the new edition coming out in Fall of 08. Please Pass the Aspirin July 28, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful I am not a techie. I do not want to be a techie. I've worked with computers all my adult life, but I've never fallen in love with the beasties. If somebody gave me a "do it to it" button that just made things work without all the heavy lifting, I'd be a happy camper. However, WordPress for Dummies is by techies, for techies. Ms. Sabin-Wilson dumps a lot of information on the table and says, "Here you go!" as if the pile of rubble you see before you is immediately comprehensible. Her explanations tend to be circular and presented in techie-speak. I use WordPress, and I had hoped this book would answer questions as they came up. No such luck--at least if you want a direct answer to a specific question. Blog Beyond Best with Wordpress for Dummies July 7, 2008 Kudos to Lisa-Sabin Wilson for an excellent training manual on WordPress. From blogging basics to typing templates, the author provides practical,clear guidance. Thoughtful organizing of the instructional material into three distinct units: WP Hosted Service, Self-Hosting with WordPress.org and Implementing WP for Multi Users, allows readers to dive directly into the information best suited for their particular blogging setup.
