"Wordpress Tutorial For Beginners" I just purchased this book, after being really upset with a prior book I purchased "Wordpress for Dummies". I needed a book to walk me through how to set up and use Wordpress in simple terms, as I knew Nothing about it. The Dummies book was so frustrating, that I was ready to drive it back down to the bookstore. I assumed that it was for complete beginners hence the name Dummies. I could not find ANYTHING I needed to find in that book, and it appeared more focused on making your own Themes. I could care less about making themes, I just wanted to know what I needed to do! Then I found this book by Mati Fuller. I was really pleased, finally I was able to have some CLEAR instructions to get me started and explain all of the different things in the Wordpress Dashboad & Administration panel. Now I know what some of these things are for and WHY I should use them, along with HOW to use them. Mati points out important things in her... More > book, that I never would have known. I am so very glad that I found this book. I just wish I had known that it was available for download, as I wasted 3 weeks looking for answers about Wordpress, now I know I need to go back and fix the posts that I created in my blog, before I upload it for the search engines to find and expose it to the world. Thank you Mati, you were a big help! Laura< Less
