Manna from Heaven!
What most impressed me about Mati's book was the simplicity of her explanations, which were usually accompanied by diagrams that show what items to select when setting up your blog. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to use the internet to share their ideas, opinions, or information with the world. This book will be useful to both the technologically challenged and those more familiar with publishing to the web.

New Install of WordPress Clarified.
Hello Mati,
Have read through your book, and looks like the type of material presented, that would have helped me when I first tried to install WordPress. For anyone ready to perform a fresh new install, you hit it right on. Even picked up other hints that were new to me.
Thank You

This book was a HUGE help!
I knew NOTHING about Wordpress before reading Mati's book and yet, with her book as my guide, I was up and running with a terrific blog in less than two hours (changing themes, this include adding a customer header, adding necessary plug-ins, and submitting my blog to Technorati, etc.)

Mati wrote in layman's terms, answering questions of mine that I didn't even know how to express. And ultimately saved me big $'s because I didn't have to hire anyone to build my blog for me. Thank you, Mati!!
