3.0 out of 5 stars Enthusiastic, but one-sided, 13 Aug 2003
This book tries to cover all aspects of blogging, from a bit of history, through creating and managing a small personal journal, to using blog technology as a corporate marketing tool. Along the way it covers an interesting variety of hints, tips and suggestions on how to make a blog look stylish, how to draw more visitors, and so on. It even covers an overview of using and writing blog-related applications and some thoughts about what might come next.

This book does well at communicating the excitement of blogging. If you are not raring to have a go by the end of the book, you're probably not cut out for life on the web. But beware, The world of blogging is astonishingly fast moving and fashion-conscious, so a book such as this can very quickly loose its cutting edge.

The main limitation of this book is the way it concentrates so much on one blogging system (Blogger), and assumes a particular way of working. On the up-side, the system it describes is probably the most popular, but that can so easily change.

If you would like to run a blog using the Blogger software or the Blog*Spot hosting service, and want to really get the most out of it, this is a great book. If you might be interested in other software and approaches, it's less vital, but still contains a lot of useful and interesting material.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Beginner's Guide, 4 Mar 2003
By Coup de Vent (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
In a fit of enthusiasm I bought this book when it was hyped on Blogger's own blog. I've been around the web for a while so I should have known better and investigated whether it was at the level to suit me before forking out sixteen quid.

This book is for absolute beginners to blogging, to web site design and HTML. The first few chapters offer most basic instruction which can also be found on the blog providers' web sites. The book does concentrate on Blogger and is a kind of offline companion book to their service. Wonder what other blog providers feel about that. The chapter on adding dynamic features to blogs was perhaps of mild interest to me in that it provided some links. The "Genius Tips" were disappointly basic and fewer than promised.

To be honest, most blogs are easy enough to set up without any outside assistance. This book may be useful for those who know nothing about establishing web pages but it's so basic I'm not sure what it does add that a magazine article or blog provider couldn't. Certainly not genius strategies.
