Building a WordPress Blog People Want to Read 2nd Edition

Description

Having your own blog isn't just for the nerdy anymore. Today, it seems everyone - from multinational corporations to a neighbor up the street - has a blog. They all have one, in part, because the folks at WordPress make it easy to have one. But to actually build a good blog - to create a blog people want to read - takes thought, planning, and some effort. From picking a theme and using tags to choosing widgets and building a community, creating your blog really starts after you've set it up.
