When I got the opportunity to write a book about WordPress, I wanted to write something for the day to day users who need to quickly find an answer to common questions but at the same time be able to learn WordPress from the ground up, step by step.
Wiley’s 24-Hour Trainer series was a great vehicle for that kind of book, because they take a lesson-based approach combined with a DVD of video tutorials.
WordPress 24-Hour Trainer is a series of 38 lessons that go from installation to editing images to optimizing your site for search engines. You can use it to start a website from scratch or to help you use a WordPress site that someone else built for you.
And when I say “website” I mean website. This is not a book about blogging, it’s a book about WordPress as a content management system for all types of websites.
The book is available through:
