This book has just about everything you need to know about blogging. I think most people will want to keep it as a reference book, and that is its value IMO. Be aware, though, that the book includes much hype–over and over again–about Google Blogger, itself.

I had my blog and in the running for a couple of weeks and decided to lend a hand this book to fill some gaps, what I had learned to go it alone. Enttäuscht.Es was not easy, one chapter at a time, and you can jump, if necessary. This is a great reference book. I have a Kindle and began to buy this version, but decided to go with the hard copy. That was a good call, as I have pointed ears of a dog and a large part of the pages, I can simply browse the shares I need a lot Referenzpreise.Während ü; blogger can learn about online, I find it useful to point to my eyes away from the computer screen and read it again and a “real” book. Books, therefore, there are many dedicated exclusively to bloggers (like this), and this was a real Plus.Einer the way, the book has helped me most was the creation of a unique domain name for my blog. I wanted a URL that does not have, have had. blogspot. com to the end. The author took me through the steps, and has every 5 minutes! That alone has saved me much time and was worth the price of the book. [. . . ] Good luck with your blog! Rating: 5 / 5
The “Dummies” franchise is notoriously uneven with lots of low-quality titles and a relatively few good ones. “Google Blogger For Dummies” is a winner.
Susan Gunelius effortlessly walks the reader through the history of blogs and Blogger, in particular, the mechanics of starting, maintaining and growing a blog and ehnhancing your blog with templates, widgets, elements and gadgets. Then Gunelius segues into “Making Money with Blogger”.
This section is surprisingly well done and thorough. It lists a number of resources for monetizing your blog and has a pretty detailed discussion of Google’s AdSense program. Gunelius then moves on to networking and relationship building.
All in all, Susan Gunelius has turned out a very usable guide to getting started with Google Blogger, growing into as sophisticated a blog as you like and, if you are so moved (and have enough traffic), monetizing and growing it. Good work. Do remember that this guide is oriented toward Blogger beginners.
If you’d like a good introduction to WordPress, Google Blogger’s major competitor, checkout another “dummies” title, WordPress For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)).
