Thought provoking and useful4
Unlike most 'bandwagon' books, Rebecca Blood actually knows, and proves she knows, about her subject matter.

Her book is an excellent introduction to the digital sub-culture surrounding blogs. It covers the history, aims and morality of blogging as well as practical advice on starting your own blog, publicising and enjoying it.

Blood covers the evolution and inevitable conflicts which have surrounded blogging since the launch of mass-market publishing systems. She is very careful to give all the sides of the argument and even references on-line writers who disagree with her. Her main aim though, appears to ensure that her readers get as much as possible from their blog.

I found the book fascinating and read it cover to cover the day it arrived. If you write, read or have an interest in blogs then I would thoroughly recomend it.

Good Stuff - best I have read on this topic5
I liked this book and it was the best of the three I have read on the topic.
It is quite small typeface so there is a lot in it.
It is well written, simple and not over technical. A good practical guide.
