Curiosity got the best of me when I picked up this book for my Kindle. Every computer science book that I have ever bought has either been way too in-depth for my needs, or just skims the surface. Unfortunately, this book was no exception.
Blogging for Dummies is a great primer. Gardner excels at introducing the technology and all its accoutrement in an easy to follow and entertaining style. But, for those of us who know Blogger and WordPress, the book is lacking that added oomph. I don't know what aha! moment I wanted, but this book just didn't give it to me. Not for lack of trying. Gardner encourages bloggers of all sizes and genres, but to me, her advice was somewhat trite: Get out there, write often, and have fun. Well, that's a no brainer. In fact, its my life motto.
A quick note to the Kindle users, the "Dummy" format doesn't translate all that well. It was hard to differentiate text for sidebars and vice versa.
