I’ve been using, off and on, WordPress to maintain a blog of what is going on.  My advanced skill (joking) has gotten me to the point of being able to add entries and tag them.  I stumble through the setup but really relied upon the Cpanel to install it on my site and then the WP Admin to maintain and update it.

This head first book provides a lot of direction that allows the simplest of technical users to install, setup, configure, customize and take advantage of WordPress’s features.  I really like that it goes into detail on modifying the look and feel of the site.  As you can tell from my site I am pretty basic but with this book I will be endeavoring to make this site a bit more interesting to look at.

If you are new to blogging I would suggest you look at using WordPress and pick up a copy of this book.  Even reading it piece meal will provide you enough information to get started.
