WordPress Complete Book
February 10th, 2007 Filed in: Reviews, WordPress Jump to comments
Since I released my GlossyBlue theme, numbers of people have asked me how to install WordPress and get their blogs running. Well, here is a book I have recently read and would like to recommend it to you - WordPress Complete. This book is written for beginners who are not an IT expert, non-developer, and have no experience with WordPress.
This book will show you how to:
- Installing and configuring WordPress on a local development machine or a web hosting service
- Managing posts and comments
- Working with Image galleries, calendars, etc.
- Organizing users and Communities
- Creating and Installing themes to control the page layout
- Linking to the outside world - Feeds, Syndication, and Podcasting
- Customizing Widgets and Plug-ins
- Using WordPress as a regular CMS

So you would say that it’s the same content that is presented at the codex?

I agree with everyone here, I learned my WordPress skills from codex too. This book is only good for beginners who prefer to read printed guide.

Hey Nick, how good was the last section on using Wordpress as a CMS? I’m interested in having a good hard copy resource (though I love the codex) for getting good at using WP as a CMS for my client. Any other book recommendations from anyone related to that topic?

Han: I learnt from codex too…
oliver: You can always print all information you need from codex…

I have not much experience with wordpress but like Han says I think the codex would be the best place to look for a free information source. However, if you prefer reading from a book then the WordPress Complete Book sounds awesome.
