    Very good but content could be better tailored.

    This book should be split into two volumes. There is a lengthy portion tailored to businesses and this section should be elaborated on in another volume leaving one volume for non business interest. Otherwise the book is very easy to read and full of good information. I highly recommend it.

    Very helpful

    I am technology-challenged and other books I've read are not basic enough for a blogging beginner, but this one is. That's not to say it is too elementary for people who are more knowledgeable. Where other books use a vocabulary unfamiliar to me, this book includes definitions and explains everything in understandable terms. The layout and organization are great. A very helpful book.
