Written in a clear, easy-to-read style, the book takes you through the essential tasks required to create a feature-rich blog as quickly as possible. From initial setup to customizing modules, each task is explained in a clear, practical way using an example blog developed through the book. This book is a beginner's guide to WordPress, for people who are new to blogging and want to create their own blogs in a simple and straightforward manner. It does not require any detailed knowledge of programming or web development, and any IT-confident user will be able to use the book to produce an impressive blog.
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.
