I use WordPress almost daily.

All of my websites are built using WordPress, I have built the overwhelming majority of my freelance clients websites over the years with WordPress, and at my day job I am the principal web person responsible for more than 30 company websites (more than 90% I have built with WordPress) – so I grabbed this book just out of sheer curiosity – and as a guide for bringing a beginner up-to-speed on managing a website built with WordPress, it is great.

I use this book to help get the interns and content writers/managers who work under me at my day job acclimated to WordPress so that they are able to take the sites I have built and use them without hesitation or mistake. None have complained, and now use the basic functions of WordPress like old pros.

Now, if you are looking for a guide that will help you do things like create custom themes using your own HTML/PHP/CSS code, or integrate some features and functions that are not available strictly through the “intended” usage of WordPress and various plugins, then no, this book is not for you (you will need one – or several – far more advanced and expensive guides) – but if you are just getting started with WordPress and want to bring yourself up to speed on using it quickly and efficiently, then I highly recommend that this be your first resource.

What I needed to get my site up and running, March 31, 2012

I already had a basic website with my own domain name, but I was not happy with the format, as I found it clunky, limiting, and difficult to update. After doing some research, I decided to go with WordPress as my new format, and I switched over with my web host. I’m an artist, not a techie…although I have had experience with three other blogging formats and I’ve had an HTML class. I wanted to create a better looking website, as well as an accompanying blog within the site. I wanted to be able to easily change and update my web content. I also didn’t want to waste a bunch of time and frustration by doing a lot of online research into free tutorials. I wanted a simple tutorial that would basically take me by the virtual hand and lead me through the steps required to make my dream a reality, without having to know or do a lot of technical computer stuff.

With the help of the author and the theme WPFolio, I was able to create a simple, clean, effective site to showcase my work. It’s easy to navigate, and so far it’s working with various devices, such as the iPhone. After I had downloaded WordPress with the help of my web host, I felt very overwhelmed, and I didn’t know where to start. This publication was easy to read, easy to understand, and it helped me get an attractive and functional artist site up and running in less than 24 hours. If you are a complete beginner to WordPress, this will save you a lot of time and frustration.

I’ve been using WordPress for a long time, but still picked up a couple good tips from this book. It is short, straightforward and to the point. She leads you through everything you need to know to set up your blog quickly and in a nice step-by-step manner. She breaks the book up into 2 parts- a Quick Start guide and an In-Depth guide, which makes it especially nice for someone new to WordPress to get started right away. The In-Depth section is essential if you really want to make your WP blog do more fancy things. It’s also good to review back later after you’ve set up your blog. The In-Depth section goes into things like selecting and installing a theme, adding pictures, galleries, posting, widgets and plugins, contact forms and even SEO (search engine optimization). Overall I enjoyed it and highly recommend it for anyone brand new to WordPress.
