The Everything Blogging Book is a great starter source for newbie bloggers looking to simply set up and run a blog. There is a TON of useful info to be mined here about what a blog is, who is out there blogging, and why one might build their online journal. br / br /The author discusses such deeper points as establishing your blogging voice/persona, identifying your market and determining your blogging goals, as well as the nuts and bolts of archiving posts, selecting blog hosts and designing layout. br / br /Types of blogs are discussed in detail: political/pundit blogs; health and wellness blogs; blogs for writers and artists; family journals and personal diaries. A lot of attention is paid to how to wring the most enjoyment as possible from your blogging efforts. br / br /Chapter titles: br /1. Welcome to Blogging br /2. Blogs as Useful Tools br /3. Popular Blog Topics br /4. Who is Blogging? br /5. Why Build a Blog br /6. Understanding Online Publishing br /7. Planning Your Blog br /8. Finding Your Blog Host br /9 Deciding on a Blog Host br /10. Starting Your Blog br /11. Blog Designs br /12. Blog Content Development br /13. Building Blog Communities br /14. Popular Blog Tools br /15. Bloggers Beware (disclaimers, copyright) br /16. Secrets of Successful Blogs br /17. Outside the Blog Box (art,craft and photography blogs, group blogs, multimedia blogs) br /18. Blogging Got Business br /19. Marketing Your Blog br /20. Maintaining Your Blog br /21. Measuring Blog Traffic br /22. Beyond the Blog (podcasting, vlogging, hand held and mobile blogging) br /23. Impact of Blogging (society and the Internet) br / br / br /This book in particular seems specifically aimed at the personal blogger, not the would-be professional. Some bare bones monetizing info is provided in Chapter 18 (Blogging for Business). While the chapter won't make anyone rich, it's a start to introduce small or home businesses to basic online selling principles. br / br /Well recommended for the average person wanting a one stop, complete blogging resource. Not for the aspiring professional blogger - there are other blogging books for that demographic.

I have been contemplating writing a book and a few people suggested creating a blog to test out ideas. I stumbled on this book and figured I would give it a read. br / br /This is a great book if you have little or no idea of what you want to do with a blog. br / br /It gives some good suggestions for things overlooked such as creating a sense of trust by filling out your profile so you give a possible reader an idea of why they should consider trusting you. br / br /It discusses the free services such as blogger and typepad and it discusses what they offer to assist in choosing a provider if you go that route. br / br /There are numerous links throughout the book that help with searching the Net for examples and ideas on what you may want to try. br / br /There are many advice points such as backing up your blog and being careful about blogging at work which causes people to get fired. br / br /There are suggestions for getting your blog noticed and some tools to assist your blogging. br / br /As I am new I can't judge all the material but I found it useful as it gave me a better idea about blogging and where to look for more detailed information. br / br /As mentioned this book is good for someone that is considering a blog and knows little or nothing. Someone who has already researched blogging, probably does not need this book. An advanced blogger can skip this book br /

Once you read or skim the book, you understand blogging and can start your own blog. The book made me think about what kind of blog I wanted to start. br / br /The book compares the major blogging sites in text and chart form. It gives advanced information on photo, audio, and video blogging. The resources section lists a lot of free web sites and articles, and I have used it many times. br / br /Bottom line: this is as good as a source on blogging as any book will be, but any book on blogging needs to be supplemented by surfing the web. br /
