Great book, but what about mashups?by LOTONtech

01/09/2009:
This book will have you blogging in no time at all. It's so nicely written that it -- with a little additional help from me, to be honest -- helped my wife set up her "Comper's Chronicle" blog.
(the blog is about winning online competitions, if you're wondering what a "comper" is)
She has successfuly incorporated Google Adsense and Amazon Associates content, as suggested in Todd's book.
Since the book deals with Web 2.0, I personally would have liked more coverage of how to incorporate web mashups into blogs. Not just photos and videos, but proper "mashups" that you can create for free -- using Yahoo! Pipes, Dapper, Microsoft Popfly, and Google Mashup Editor -- to combine information, pictures, whatever from various web pages and feeds. And then incorporate the results in your blog.
But I still rate it 5 stars.
I Also Recommend: Introduction to Microsoft Popfly, No Programming Required, Working with Yahoo! Pipes, No Programming Required, Creating Google Mashups With The Google Mashup Editor, Mashup Case Studies With Yahoo! Pipes, Mashups Made Easy with Dapper, the Data Mapper.
