Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Less for dummies, and more like for reference
I'm currently in a small business class, and I wanted to expand my offerings to the public.

I had a 5 page website that I spent good money on, and my instructor recommended using wordpress and blogging. It is simple to use, and enables you to get online and edit your stuff yourself.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't bother with this book

To my amazement, this book does not shed any light on things like 1.) how to redirect a domain name I already own to my wordpress domain name 2.) How to change the code directly in the wordpress stylsheet to adjust my theme 3.) How to correct 404 errors etc.., the list goes on. This book focuses on the things you ... Read More
