1) Paperback Book WordPress For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) by For Dummies. I´m starting to build a website for a campus organization, and WordPress for Dummies has helped me know what needs to be done and how to do it. It´s step-by-step instructions are a boon when you´re doing your own webmastering!¤

2) Paperback Book WordPress For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) by For Dummies. When I first thought about moving to self-hosting and using Wordpress.org, I also thought a plugin was what connected my laptop to the wall.

I bought Wordpress For Dummies specifically because I wanted guidance on moving to Wordpress.org platform for self-hosting. This meant that the first part of the book (about Wordpress.com, how to start blogging, etc.) was largely ignored, but the part I needed was superb and well worth the cost of the entire book.

For a detailed story on how this book helped me make my move to Wordpress.org, see my blog post at http://shesgotbaggage.net/2008/10/done-woo/

Overall, I am very happy with this book. It gives great step-by-step instructions and wonderful recommendations for places to find themes, plugins, FTP, and so on, all of which have worked very well for me. If you need help getting set up with self-hosting and you want to use the Wordpress.org platform (which I also HIGHLY recommend for its functionality), Wordpress for dummies will get you there quickly and painlessly.

3) Paperback Book WordPress For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) by For Dummies. Wordpress is not really an easy to use platform for people who know little to nothing about php or code. So, I got this book to get some help with the more complicated aspects of wordpress. To my amazement, this book does not shed any light on things like 1.) how to redirect a domain name I already own to my wordpress domain name 2.) How to change the code directly in the wordpress stylsheet to adjust my theme 3.) How to correct 404 errors etc.., the list goes on. This book focuses on the things you can figure out for yourself! I don´t need to know how to edit a post, that´s fairly intuitive. I needed this book to help me with the meat and potatoes of the wordpress platform and this book failed miserably at that. In addition, it´s jumbled and hard to follow. Listen, don´t waste your money, just google for helpful hints.¤

4) Paperback Book WordPress For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) by For Dummies. This is a good book if you have never used WordPress before. Not much info for advanced use.¤

5) Paperback Book WordPress For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) by For Dummies. I am a systems administrator with a good technical level and I have bought this book because it was well rated at Amazon.

Don´t let the title of this book (... for Dummies) confuse you. I had no real experience in working with CMS´s and after reading this book I can say I have now a good starting knowledge level for working with WordPress.

In this book you will find a description of Wordpress template system, including how the PHP code and WordPress API works. Also, the book is written by a person with a strong experience in real life web design and she gives advices (interesting plugins and themes, by example) of a great value for a person with no previous knowledge of the product.¤
