I just received the book a few hours ago and hastened to read through. I look forward to my second and third read through, as I apply some of Scott’s suggestions. I learned several new ways to write and market my blog. Good and useful book.

I am a recent wordpress convert, and it’s been a battle to get it up and running (30+ hours of research online). This was my first Wordpress book purchase, I wanted something that would get me started and answer a few questions I couldn’t find online.
After reading it, I was able to identify several things I still needed to do to “Futureproof” my blog. I found the explanations and instructions clear and sufficient. Specifically, I was able to install a non-standard theme and edit the CSS files of it. I had been unable to do this after reviewing lots of online documentation.
It’s a great reference book and I would recommend it to anyone getting started with wordpress.

Scott has produced a very easy and straight forward book on Wordpress.
“Building a Wordpress Blog People want to read” just saved me about a month of work.
Thanks Scott!

This is an excellent manual for those who want to understand the practice of Wordpress. Really the “WordPress missing manual” you should have before starting the beautiful adventure of blogging.
Scott McNulty follows simply the logic: how to install WordPress, understand the dashboard, define the right settings, post, manage comments, change the appearance and manage plug-ins.
The text is clear and screenshots nicely complete the picture.

This is a helpful book on Word Press Blogging. It covers the basics. Some may find it confusing because the word press interface continues to change with each new Word Press Release.Learn the basics of word press in this book, keep it handy and refer back to it.Particularly useful is Chapter 12 on themes and Chapter 13 on Plug Ins two items that scare folks away from Word Press Blogging. The 4 stars because the usefulness of this book is diminished some what with each new Word Press Release.
