Fast And Easy Way To Become a Blogger, By Diane Cipollo (Editor at BellaOnline.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Publishing a Blog with Blogger: Visual QuickProject Guide (Paperback)
A blog or weblog is a great way to get started on the web and Blogger.com from Google is one of the most popular software for creating weblogs. In her book, Elizabeth Castro assumes that this may be your first web project as she walks you through the basics for creating a blog at Blogger.com.First, she gives you an overview of Blogger.com, what the software does, and why she chose it as the subject for her book. After she introduces you to the Blogger Dashboard (the control panel where all the work is done), Castro shows you how to open a Blogger account, give your weblog a name and choose a template.

All you need to know to blog using Blogger, By
This review is from: Publishing a Blog with Blogger: Visual QuickProject Guide (Paperback)
I have been writing on my blog using Blogger since 2002, so I am very familiar with almost all the options it provides you with to get your word out there in the blogosphere. Yet, I was able to pick up numerous new things when I read this book by Elizabeth Castro. It goes from the very basics that you'd need in order to get off the ground, all the way to incorporating audio into your blog, blogging via e-mail/telephone, customizing your blog, hosting it yourself and much, much more. It's incredible the amount of useful information that the author was able to pack in a little over 100 pages.As an experienced Blogger user I highly recommend this title (and of course, I recommend Blogger as a blogging platform).

Learn to Blog Really Fast, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Publishing a Blog with Blogger: Visual QuickProject Guide (Paperback)
I bought several books on blogging because I'm scheduled to teach a class about blogging at our library in late October. This little guide is the perfect teaching tool. Although it only covers one blog host, blogger.com, most of the information can be used with any host.
