The free, set-up and user documentation is very well presented and thorough; however, some blog owners and developers appreciate additional teaching perspectives. We recommend Maria Langer, Miraz Jordan's WordPress 2 for this purpose.

It's an easy-to-use guide to WordPress Templates and Themes implementation. An excellent resource for all user levels.

Here's what the Editorial Review Staff has said:

"WordPress is an open-source personal publishing platform that is easy to use, flexible, and highly customizable. Although used primarily for publishing blogs, WordPress can easily be used to create and maintain complete Web sites.

Taking the average blogger further than blogspot can, WordPress allows bloggers to create more complicated sites with their open-source technology, rather than blogger which is limited by HTML changes to their templates.

This easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide shows you how to install, use, and customize WordPress to get the most from the software. Includes tips that explain why certain techniques are better than others, how to watch for potential problems, and where readers can find more information."
