Book Recommendation: Blogging for Dummies, 2nd Edition

Feb 13, 2008 – Monique Sherrett / Events & Other News

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.

Susannah and Shane offer expert tips for new bloggers and bloggers looking for ideas and resources on improving their blog. The book includes explanations in plain English, quick information for techies and non-techies, tear-out cheat sheets and top 10 lists.

Blogging for Dummies, 2nd Edition is a great resource book for business and personal bloggers.

What’s the promise?

Discover how to create and maintain visitors to your blog, protect your privacy and your job, deal with spam and inappropriate comments, find your voice, and use your blog to promote your business.

Does it deliver?

Yes.
