I found this Blogging For Dummies Book to be accessible, complete, well-organized, and entertaining. It's like having your funny, fast-talking, slashdot.org-loving techie best friend tell you what to do - a good thing for me, but might not suit people who prefer more technical guidebooks.
In the author's intro, he goes over the chapters and tells readers what they can skip depending on their level of technical expertise and blog ambition (getting a blog hosted vs. installing the blog software yourself, for example).
I decided to start a blog and I know NOTHING about Dummy Blogging or Secret of Blogs and Site Monetizing, so I picked up this book. If you are having a difficult time selecting which website to blog with, typepad, wordpress, etc.
Blogging For Dummies book is great to help determine which will best suit your needs! I also like that it covers basic info such as trackbacks and blog engines. Again great if you have NO CLUE about blogs I would imagine if you have say a 40% rate of knowledge about blogging this book would be a waste of time.
This book was written simply, but was definitely appropriate for my skill level, I read it in a day, and had my blog site set up the day after. I appreciated the simple language, bullet points, and many screenshots.
Other notable features: Hill has separate chapters for each of the major blog services (MSN, Typepad, Movabletype, WordPress), and the information presented is up-to-date (very important for the blog services that updated their software recently).
Overall, it's a good choice for beginners in Web site building. Those with some experience who for some reason ignored the title of Blogging For Dummies book should opt for something in a more specialized series, one that doesn't cover everything from blogging and yoga, like the Visual Quickstart series.
