I really like the way this book is laid out and easy to follow. I was asked to create a WordPress Journal at work and had very little time to get it up and running - I'm happy to report I spent about 4 hours going through the book and within a day I had a working website! Now don't get me wrong - it's my first WordPress but NOT my first website- I've been doing them for friends, family, work, job for about 16 years - just never used WordPress before - and now that I have, I really like it and can see how I'll be incorporating it into many more websites in the future. Good book - good reference - It was certainly worth it to me.
