Suggested Books on Wordpress

alirawk · #1 Feb 28, 2010, 10:53 AM

I am as new as it gets to Wordpress, but I'm already finding myself obsessed with it.

Any recommendations on a good book to help me get better and perhaps even introduce me to some basic CSS?

Thanks.

I've taught myself a lot just reading what's on wordpress.org, and googling various problems and questions along the way.

Ali
suggest you get started with my free eBook "WordPress quick start" available on my site.
If anyone has recommendations for other books let me know so I can mention them.

there is a 'Wordpress for Dummies' I haven't looked at so I can't tell you how good it is but it might be a starting place.

I bought WordPress for Dummies. I find it very helpful. I have learned a lot from it. But, I do better having a book in front of me. I'm old school and like having a pencil and yellow wax pencil for taking notes and highlighting.

Wordpress for Dummies is great. Lisa Sabin-Wilson wrote it and did some consulting for us. Highly recommend.
