Customer Reviews

OK if you're an absolute beginner2
Frankly, if you already have a blog or have browsed the homepages for Blogger etc then you will know the majority of what's in this book. If, however, you're an absolute beginner with very little knowledge of all things online then this is a reasonable starting point.

It's American and would benefit from some slightly techier tips. For those, though, you're best off checking the blogging sites themselves.

All in all, disappointing for a volume in the Rough Guide series.

Informative and Complete5
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 book5
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.
