Have to say, this is my first proposal by blog comment heh. You may want to wait until the second edition of my book is published, as it contains a great deal more information on wordpress plugins, themes, tags and design information than the first edition. Also, the second edition covers the most recent version of WordPress.. 2.6 - - possibly 2.7 if it's released in time. The book is due to be published in November and will have an e-book companion, as well. The first edition does cover the wordpress template system - including tags and parameters.. so if you just can't wait, there is an <a href="http://www.booksonboard.com/index.php?BODY=viewbook&BOOK=168803&v=buynow" rel="nofollow">e-book version here</a> If you want to wait for my second edition - the, in the meantime - you may want to download my free bonus chapter that I published when WordPress 2.5 came out - it does cover information on how to add gravatars. Its in PDF format and you can <a href="http://justagirlintheworld.com/download-manager.php?id=6" rel="nofollow">download that here</a>. Thanks! @TCOBurn - Thanks for stopping by!

I was thinking of buying this book too, but I have been using Wordpress since the 1.0 days, and I'm not too sure if I'll learn much from reading it or not? but there are some topics I would like to know about....such as how to write a plugin (I don't know how to do that) and what all the different theme filenames are, a reference of all the different wordpress tags, basically advanced topics, but I'm also confused about how to add gravatars, as I'm still used to the old way from gravatar.com, so I don't know.. Can I buy the book in PDF format instead of in printing? I am legally blind and I'm not able to read a textbook, so I usually use text to speech software for the computer that basically reads any MS word or Adobe PDF document to me, which would be handier for me then an actual book, is there something like that available I can purchase perhaps? take care, Tom Lisa….getting down on one knee…..will you marry me? *just kidding* lol!

They are both great. I got the name of your book through SFImg.com I joined about 3 wks ago and am trying to figure out what to do first so I don't lose the downline under me. I know nothing about doing a website/blog/etc but this looks like a good start. You mentioned a 2nd book on Blogging coming out this fall. Should I want to order that one or go ahead and get this one? I really like the Veriuni products sold through SFI and have done a lot of research on them. Also, we are Full-Time RV'ers; no real property anywhere. I would like to tie the lifestyle with the Veriuni somehow as I think they would mesh like peanut butter and jam. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I know you are buried with work. If you have time for a reply that would be great. I will next check out wordpress.com.

I updated my site <a href="http://justagirlintheworld.com/all-work-n-no-play-you-know-the-story/" rel="nofollow">with this post</a> and announced that I have finished writing and handed in the bonus, free chapter that covers some of what is new in WordPress 2.5. I know it's currently going through some copy editing at Wiley Publishing and they will release it as soon as its ready. You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed, as I do reguarly make updates here as to what is going on with the book. Also, I'm currently in the process of writing WordPress For Dummies, 2nd Edition which is due to be published early Fall '08 which will cover up to version 2.6. Hope that answers your questions :) Thanks for droping by! Hi Bob - happy to hear you’ve enjoyed the book, thank you!

This book was sorely needed, so thank you. Not sure I'm understanding your post, though: you say "the book is up to date" - I see no updates on the Dummies site, though. Am I looking in the wrong place, or are they still to come? It's a shame the book is so new, yet does not reflect the latest version of WP (2.5). The Admin panel is all different now. I can't figure out how to design the page, now that they've eliminated the drap and drop functionality. Help!! :(( Hi Lisa -
