Google Blogger is a great choice for beginning bloggers, and Google Blogger For Dummies gives you the know-how to venture confidently into the blogosphere. | Average Customer Rating: Google Blogger for Dummies Google Blogger For Dummies I usually am a little disappointed with "for Dummies" books - but not this one. I am 73 years old and have decided to set up my own blog. I borrowed this book from the library and found it to be very helpful. I am so impressed with this book that I am writing my very first review here.
The author, Susan Gunelius, writes about everything from setting up the blog to search engine optimization in a very clear and organized manner. If a grandmother can understand the book, everyone should be able to. I'm ordering my own copy of "Google Blogger for Dummies" to keep handy as I progress with my blog.
one stop shoping The "Dummie Books" are available everywhere. I chose Amazon because I had not seen this particular book on any shelf. I knew that if it existed....Amazon would not only have it but that they could get it shipped to me ASAP. The book itself is simple and concise and offers ideas that I might have been long finding using my trial and error methods. Amazon is always my go to shop. FYI and no I am not on their payroll.....just a fan ! Quite Helpful This book was easy to use and had simple instructions to get a blog started. I was up and running within a couple of days of reading. Great Reference for Blogger I've had my blog up and running for a couple of weeks and decided to get this book to help fill in some gaps in what I had learned on my own. I was not disappointed.
It is easy to just take a chapter at a time and you can skip around as needed. It is a great reference book. I have a Kindle and started to buy that version, but decided to go with the hardcopy. This was a good call as I have highlighted and dog-eared a lot of the pages so I can easily flip to sections I need to reference.
While you can learn a lot about Blogger online, I find it helpful on my eyes to get away from the computer screen every now and then and read a "real" book. Also, there aren't many books exclusively devoted to Blogger (like this one)so this was also a real plus.
One of the ways the book helped me the most, was in creating a unique domain name for my blog. I wanted to have a url that didn't have the .blogspot.com at the end of it. The author walked me through the steps and it took all of 5 minutes! This alone saved me a lot of time and was worth the price of the book. [...]
Good luck with your blogging!
not too technical thanks! i like this book... it is "readable" and not so technical. i am still reading but looks like i will become a more knowledgeable "blogger".
thanks.
