I love Peachpit Press and would recommend just about any of their books, especially their …
For WordPress, though, while it would take a bit more of one’s time, WP’s own documentation (the codex) and support forums are more helpful than any book, however well-conceived.

The primary reason is that a book can only suggest one or two ways to set up a blog. The WP support forums can show you a hundred different ways to set up a blog, dozens of ways to set up a WP-based commerce or publishing site, and literally thousands of coding tweaks to make your data do exactly what you want it to do.

I hardly ever read full reviews, before first reading a summary. I always look for summaries which this review seems to be missing.

This book review is summarized per chapter where I highlight what you can find.
The book review follows the chapters as in the book. As I mentioned in the beginning: This book is more of a compendium which explains the basics of managing your WordPress 2 blog. Wordpress 2 was a major update for the WP blog series.

In book Info you have a short summary of the whole book as well.

Thanks for the review Johan.

You’ll note that Maria didn’t write the book alone. :-)

Hi,I use wordpress for most of my sites. One thing I find is really useful if not essential is a good knowledge of html, css and php. Knowing all of these skills can really makes a difference to your blog/website. However if you were to learn just one skill then html would be a great start. Have a look at these html tutorials for a fast way to learn html. Tony
