    Blogging for Bliss is not a Blissful experience. Very Dissapointing

    There was so much hype about this book by the author, Tara Frey, on her blog that pales in comparison to soooo many other blogs, most others in the blogging world. This clearly is an amateur's attempt at writing a book about a less than intelligent topic. Blogging is as simple as ABC and 123 and one does not require a book on how to do it, certainly not this book that was a waste of my money. All it does is advertise other blogs and provide a glossary, google will do just fine for any definitions and it is free! The author also likes to pose for pictures, not necessary to have a blog. Dissapointing to say the least, an unecessary purchase and I and others are surprised this was picked up by a publisher!

    Truly Blissful Blogging

    Great inspiration. Not as much "tutorial" as I would have liked, but what is there is excellent. The links to other instructional web sites are useful.

    An Inspiration for Those Thinking of Starting a Blog

    I enjoyed reading this book. It has some great photos and valuable advice. The only problem was that I found that I wanted to get on my computer and look up the different blogs that were featured in the book. After looking at the other blogs and reading what the author had to say, I found myself wanting to start my own personal blog. I have finally started my blog, but it seems to be a lot more work than depicted in the book. But, I enjoy it.

    Tara nailed it!

    Blogging for Bliss is not only for the beginner blogger but for the advanced as well. As a crafter, this book is just what I needed. It's beautiful, inspiring, yet informative at the same time. And I love the bloggers featured throughout the book. It's interesting to see what blogs they read and what inspires them. I highly recommend this book for beginners to experts in the creative blogging world!

    Useful information buried in the story - not exactly my bliss

    I purchased Tara Frey's book on blogging because I am a novice and wanted information on how to set up a blog, the various types and uses and basically, whether this is the right medium for me. The information is there, but it's like reading her diary to get to it all. I guess Tara's style of writing a "how to" book is much like her style of blogging, while my tendency leans more to the graphic. More photos, fewer stories. If you enjoy the tale as much as the happy ending, this may be just the thing for you. Once I got to the "meat" that I was looking for, I took notes and used Tara's suggestions and resources to come up with my own template and plan. It's a pretty book, and if you have the time and willingness to read it from cover to cover, it can be informative as well.

    In the "I Also Recommend" section of the B&N online review page, it is necessary to do a search on the product that I would like to suggest to readers of this review. Unfortunately, the magazine that I want to suggest, Artful Blogging: Visually Inspiring Online Journals (by Somerset Studios), does not come up on a search. This is very odd, since I purchase the magazine at my local Barnes & Noble.
