Book Recommendation (WordPress For Dummies)

wpbook I just got done reading the “WordPress For Dummies” and I highly recommend picking up this book and reading it especially if your new to blogging on wordpress.com or new to hosting your own website using wordpress.org–software…. This book has alot of great insight
for people that are new to blogging or are new to the wordpress.org software and would like a great starting point… This book covers every thing from setting up a WP.com blog to setting up your own hosted
website using the WP.org software for the first time…

The book also covers how to navigate through the settings on the (Free hosted version WP.com) to adding plugins for the (self hosted version WP.org software) and writing articles that will capture regular readers for both versions…

The book also walks you through the steps of engaging
readers to comment on your blog/website…

It also covers

*setting up a blog design

*Typing up templates (self hosted version)

*Making the most of WordPress plugins
(Self hosted version)

*Understanding the wp.org admin panel

*Enhancing your blog with themes and widgets

*Getting started with wp.com

*Writing and managing your blog
and much much more!!!

    This is a good book review to be sure. It’s a useful resource for wordpress users.

    Setting that aside, the new theme is really refreshing. I like it. :)

    I’m sorry to hear that… Maybe you can write up a 2nd edition
    it would be a great add on to the great resources that are
    implemented into the book “WordPress For Dummies” :wink:

    Thank you to the both of you for stopping by my blog
    again and leaving you’re wonderful comments…

    The funny thing is, alot of portions of wordpress gave me trouble and/or still don’t make sense to me.
    I’m just surprised wordpress is popular enough for a Dummies book.. I never heard of it until I met my best friend in college. I personally like the whole tag system – it makes finding random blogs pretty easy.

    Hello grezakster,

    The funny thing is, alot of portions of wordpress gave me trouble and/or still don’t make sense to me.

    Sorry to hear that…

    IMHO The reason WordPress is so popular is because
    it’s easy to use for must “WordPress” users
    and they have a fast acting support group… :)

    P.s. wordpress has a search function now
    so you can find blogs more easier now… :wink:

    Thank you for visiting my blog
    again and leaving you’re wonderful comment… :D
