Customer Reviews

Informative and Complete
If you're looking for a great guide on blogging then this book is for you.
It breaks down the "how to" in simple terms.

As a new comer to the blogging world; this book brought me form confused and fumbling to blogging like a pro with confidence.

It's a must have!!

Clear and concise blog book
The layout and the design of the book was particularly appealling and that's what initially caught my attention. I'm not a real technical person and didn't find anything in the guide that was overwhelming or particularly challenging. Highly recommended, I just gave this book to my nephew becaues I thought it did a good job of introducing the blogosphere -- and the list of "top blogs" was pretty interesting.

Finally, a book on blogging that gets you on track quickly!
This book is the only book you'll need to get you on the road to blogging. It explains very clearly what the history, present, and future of blogging are and how you make your mark. Too many tech books take so much time to read that they take away from your time doing the actual activity! This one is to-the-point and current, which many other books lack. Yang is on point with great examples. A fun, good read for you or anyone you want to introduce to the blogosphere.
