This is pretty good as computer books for the novice go. He does a fairly good job of breaking things down and telling you exactly what you need to do. Yet, he seems to cover a lot of ground.
I have been reading this and using it to set up several blogs. Very clear, although the ordering of items might be a bit better. A couple of things are told in flash back, rather than straight on.
Still, a useful book and one that will be on my "often used" shelf for a long time.
