Book Reviews of WordPress For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
Book Review: Truth in Advertising
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm an amateur trying to use Wordpress to get my family weblog looking and behaving in accordance with my vision for it. I've taught myself a little html/css/php/etc but was hitting a wall with the wp codex and I hoped this book would get me over. Well, I didn't learn much besides what is easily picked up in scanning the codex howto. This book was a bit too superficial for my needs. What I would really like is someone to step through the code line by line, explaining what calls are being made and why and how they can be manipulated. This is too difficult for me to follow just looking at the wp files themselves. And that is not the audience for this book. So, my fault for buying this book, erroneously thinking that it would not in fact live up to its title.
