This is a truly remarkable book. It is both a detailed primer for weblog novice and serves well as a reference for the experienced blogger or one desiring to attain that level. Stauffer’s organization of his material is unusually well structured. He begins at the very beginning: what is a blog, why you might want one and so one. Then there’s a walk-through of four different blogging platforms, which is surprisingly detailed, yet easy to comprehend. This section not only cleared up a lot of mysteries for me, but also introduced me to the remarkable pMachine. He then moves on to writing, designing and tweaking your blog – with information I didn’t find in the other three books I first read. Finally, he concludes with sections on publicizing yourt blog and how to use it in business environments. Overall, a remarkable tour de fource and in my estimation, the best book on blogging currently available. As noted I’ve read three of them and looked at all the others. This is the only one I would unreservedly endorse — and I am not easy to please. Jerry
This is a well-structured, practical and fairly comprehensive look at blogging. It covers everything from the basic question of whether you need a weblog, through how to set up and use some of the popular software offerings, to writing, tweaking, and publicizing your blog. There’s also a small section on using blogs in business. The author comes over as someone who knows his stuff; I like the clear line drawn between using a hosted service, and running your blog on your own machine, for example. As with any book which gives such precise installation and operation details, this one is likely to date quickly when the available software changes. It also has only thin coverage of more lasting social and community aspects, so if you find a copy that’s several years old, make sure the bulk of the book still makes sense before buying. It’s not a secret, but the book has a strong affiliation with the pMachine blogging software, and in places this seems to crowd out alternative approaches a bit. In general, a solid and worthwhile book for a beginner to blogging. This book gives you all the tools and knowledge to get started, but once you decide that blogging is for you and want to take it further, make sure to check out a wider range of software and deeper, more theoretical, books such as Powazek’s “Design for Community” and Blood’s “The Weblog Handbook”.
