Wordpress is a simple and powerful way to start blogging. This book helps you explore WordPress showing you what it offers and how to go about building your blog with the system. It introduces the main aspects of a blog - users, communities, posts, comments, news feeds - and teaches how to manage them using WordPress.
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.
