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 get 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 set it up. In this book by blogger extraordinaire Scott McNulty, you learn how to:
* Install and get your WordPress blog running.
* Set up your site to ensure it can easily grow with you and your readers.
* Be the master of user accounts.
* Manage your site with the WordPress Dashboard and extend its capabilities with plug-ins.
* Make the most of images.
* Work with pages, templates, and links and—of course—publish your posts.
* Deal with comments—if you even want readers commenting at all.
* Find a theme—or build one yourself.
* Maintain your site and fix common problems.
