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. The template does all the work for you when creating your weblog pages. All you need is the content that you want to publish and the template places everything in the correct spot on the webpage. Castro does a great job explaining all of this with step-by-step instructions and lots of illustrations. Once you have posted your first weblog entry, Castro moves on to... Read more

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).

Great Book, Needs Updating, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Publishing a Blog with Blogger: Visual QuickProject Guide (Paperback)
As others have attested, this is an excellent beginning guide. It is clear and easy to understand, in large part due to the screen shots and non-technical language. It is definitely an entry-level book.What was lacking for me was that Blogger has just moved to a new version so the interface for editing much of the code in templates and other helps has changed. This will be a challenge for a relative beginner such as myself. For just getting the basics, this is a great book, but keep in mind that there are changes to Blogger since it was printed. |
