February 18, 2009: I have managed to create a decent blog using this book. Friends and relatives agree that this is an exceptional example of the ability of this book to lead the totally uninitiated into the world of blogging. Amazing. This is a book for those with some computer skills, but no WordPress skills. It has been very useful, though would be less so for anyone with more advanced skills. Very clear and helpful.
