Easy to follow, well designed, heavily illustrated with many examples, this book not only provided information about the hows and whys of blogging, but also covered the technical aspects of setting up and monitoring a blog site. The book would be most useful to novice bloggers, but even experienced bloggers could reap its benefits, and find ways of tweaking their existing blogs.

The problem with books about blogging and the Internet is that they rapidly become dated. This book is only 3 years old but... it looks and feels stale. A lot of pages were dedicated to how to set up blogs using particular platforms (WordPress, Blogger, etc.) which I thought was just a huge waste of space.
