I am recommending this to all of my design clients - both newbies and experienced bloggers - because it has such great tips and easy to follow instructions for taking your Typepad blog to the next level!!

This is by far the best guide to TypePad and blogging that I have ever read. You can skip chapters, if you wish, or simply read through just like I did. Not only is this book an excellent guide for beginners but it is also a valuable resource for any experienced blogger.


5 out of 5 stars If you're blogging with Typepad, buy this book!   April 25, 2010

The TypePad for Dummies Book by Melanie Nelson and Shannon Lowe is worth every penny. Even if you're using TypePad every day to manage your blog, like I do at [...], it is still a very good desk-side reference to have. It's already saved me probably 2-3 hours of time looking around on TypePad's site trying to figure out how to do something or tweak a function, etc. As a person who has bounced around on several blog platforms over the years, I would be remiss if I didn't say too that the TypePad folks are very helpful when you need them, and the book just adds to the available tools which keeps me with TypePad! Great resource here for sure! Buy it for sure.

What a great little book! At first i was reluctant to order any title that was aimed at 'dummies' because, like most of us I thought I wasn't dumb! Well, I was dumb - dumb about how simple using Typepad is when you have this book in front of you!
As the book says - you can read from cover to cover, or jump to chapters you need as you need them. It works! However, after only three weeks of looking at Typepad for Dummies I STILL need it - like a bible!
My usage criteria: my blog is a business blog; I am not HTML or code savvy; but I am learning very quickly how to build a community thanks to Typepad for dummies!!
