#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsay presents
a powerfully romantic Regency-era tale that is breathtaking in scope
and wondrously passionate.
When Sebastian Townshend, son of the eighth Earl of Edgewood, was banished from his family due to the tragic results of a duel, he vowed never to return to England. Now living on the continent, Sebastian has forged a new identity as a deadly mercenary, The Raven. But his former neighbor, Lady Margaret Landor, has different plans for him. Back in England, Sebastian's father has had several accidents and Margaret suspects foul play and deception that reach as far back as the infamous duel. Convinced that only Sebastian can set the situation to rights, Margaret arranges a scandalous bargain with him that includes Sebastian's returning home as her husband. As the newlyweds uncover a deadly scheme, a fierce passion blossoms between them, which neither anticipated -- and neither can resist.

Summary: Less for dummies, and more like for reference
Comment: I'm currently in a small business class, and I wanted to expand my offerings to the public.
I had a 5 page website that I spent good money on, and my instructor recommended using wordpress and blogging. It is simple to use, and enables you to get online and edit your stuff yourself.
Cool, so I went to amazon, and typed in wordpress, seen the for dummies book and bought it.
3 days after it arrived, I had devoured a good part of the book, but did not have my website up. The more I read the more confused I got.
I think this book can be a wonderful reference guide, it covers more stuff than the other book I got, but it is too technical for me.
The other book (which I also reviewed) actually got me online.
Was this book a waste? No! I can still use this book. Now that I have been online for a couple of days, and I'm learning the interface, I can read some of this stuff, and begin to understand it. But this just is not the book for me. I'm still giving it 4 stars, but only because it covers a lot of stuff. The other book I got is less than half this size, and actually got me online very easily.
I see there is a new one that will be for sale soon, and I recommend skipping this version and picking that one up. The difference between the interfaces is huge and can be quite confusing.
I'm hoping that by the time that version comes out, I will understand enough to be able to actually use it.

Summary: A very helpful introduction to WordPress
Comment: I'm starting to build a website for a campus organization, and WordPress for Dummies has helped me know what needs to be done and how to do it. It's step-by-step instructions are a boon when you're doing your own webmastering!

Summary: Made my move to self-hosting SO easy!
Comment: When I first thought about moving to self-hosting and using Wordpress.org, I also thought a plugin was what connected my laptop to the wall.
I bought Wordpress For Dummies specifically because I wanted guidance on moving to Wordpress.org platform for self-hosting. This meant that the first part of the book (about Wordpress.com, how to start blogging, etc.) was largely ignored, but the part I needed was superb and well worth the cost of the entire book.
For a detailed story on how this book helped me make my move to Wordpress.org, see my blog post at http://shesgotbaggage.net/2008/10/done-woo/
Overall, I am very happy with this book. It gives great step-by-step instructions and wonderful recommendations for places to find themes, plugins, FTP, and so on, all of which have worked very well for me. If you need help getting set up with self-hosting and you want to use the Wordpress.org platform (which I also HIGHLY recommend for its functionality), Wordpress for dummies will get you there quickly and painlessly.

Summary: Don't bother with this book
Comment: Wordpress is not really an easy to use platform for people who know little to nothing about php or code. So, I got this book to get some help with the more complicated aspects of wordpress. To my amazement, this book does not shed any light on things like 1.) how to redirect a domain name I already own to my wordpress domain name 2.) How to change the code directly in the wordpress stylsheet to adjust my theme 3.) How to correct 404 errors etc.., the list goes on. This book focuses on the things you can figure out for yourself! I don't need to know how to edit a post, that's fairly intuitive. I needed this book to help me with the meat and potatoes of the wordpress platform and this book failed miserably at that. In addition, it's jumbled and hard to follow. Listen, don't waste your money, just google for helpful hints.
