Book Recommendation: Blogging for Dummies, 2nd Edition
New to blogs? Check out Blogging for Dummies, 2nd Edition.
Susannah Gardner of Hop Studios and Shane Birley of Left Right Minds are the authors of Blogging for Dummies, 2nd Edition (published by Wiley).
Both are friends, but I would recommend this book regardless.
