Google Blogger For Dummies

I Just purchased: Google Blogger For Dummies

The "For Dummies" books are often hit and miss but, so far, this book seems to be really well structured. I've only just begun reading it but I plan on finishing it while I'm in Vegas next week for Catersource 2009.


Here's what this books is about:
  • Learn the parts of a blog, what Blogger does, and how to choose goals and blog topics.
  • Choose a domain name, learn to use the dashboard, pick a template, and configure settings.
  • Dress up your blog with themes and find out where to get plenty of free ones.
  • Learn blogging etiquette and some secrets for long-term success.
  • Make money from your blog with Google Adsense, contextual and text link ads, and merchandising with CafePress.
  • Set up multi-user blogs or branch into mobile blogging, podcasting, or video blogging.
  • Take advantage of social networking sites and learn simple search engine optimization techniques.
  • Maintain your blog with tools like Blog This! and Quick Edit.
  • Moderate comments effectively, track your stats, and more
