4 out of 5 stars Fair deal for its time of edition : 2006   August 5, 2009
Blog Wild was published in 2006.

Who is the audience? : " Blogwild is for businesses and entrepreneurs who have heard about blogs, know that there's something special going on, but aren't quite sure what the big deal is."

Why TypePad ? " For BEGINNERS, I recommend starting out with the TypePad blog platform available from Six Apart. Let's look at some of the reasons why : + It's hosted for you; +Multiple blogs and authors; +Multimedia support; +Comment spam control; +Template engine; +Traffic and stats analysis; +Easy come, easy go ...SO YOU ARE NOT TIED DOWN TO USING TypePad FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE; +Price; +It's easy."

Today we are in 2009 and many things have changed in the Blog world but if you are a BEGINNER, Andy Wibbels' book is STILL a good basic introduction.

I should know as I Blogged for a little more than a year and I can tell you finding the time to learn about HTML , XHTML and CSS can be a hassle when all your efforts should be on the contents of your Blog and its marketing.



3 out of 5 stars Good start for blogging novices willing to use TypePad   August 10, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This short book is a very clear and easy read; just about right for blogging novices seeking a quick introduction to the basics. The pages are written in "sound bites" for the busy non-tech professional, in lucid language, with no padding. You get just the facts needed to get your business blog set up, from idea to reality, in a reading that should not take more than one afternoon.

My major beef with the book: the author's single-minded focus on Typepad as a blogging platform. What about Blogger and Word Press? Exactly *half* of this book reads like a how-to manual for TypePad.

Although I understand this is the author's choice and probably the blogging platform he is most comfortable with, nowhere on the jacket blurb is TypePad mentioned. I would like to have known this if I was buying the book! What if I already had the start of a WordPress blog and wanted to know how to develop it? Half this book, short enough already, would be wasted cash for me. I find this a bit disingenuous on the part of the publisher.

I would recommend this book only if the blogger-to-be wanted a step-by-step description of starting a blog from *scratch* on Typepad.

For people already owning a blog, the book is just a bit too remedial. For the price, there are other books for the beginning blogger that should prove more useful and take one beyond the baby steps offered here.



3 out of 5 stars Precision Bluing's Wild Review!   July 9, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

While this book was well written and very clear, it perhaps should have been titled "Typepad 101". I had purchased this to learn how to better use our business's blog "Journal Entries of an Online Entrepreneur" on Wordpress, but was able to apply very little of the information in this book to our own blog.

I'm not saying you shouldn't purchase this book, but I am saying that you should only purchase it if you are interested in learning how to use Typepad because that is the only platform taught~

Andy put together a great book on blogging. I am challanged when it comes to these things and Blogwild paints a clear easy to read and follow guide. Not just the nuts and bolts but all the intricate keys that are important to business.
