Amazon Review

I’ve seen some parts of this book already (the full thing is winging it’s way from the US as I write this) and it is a great read and well worthwhile the purchase for those starting out with and wanting to extend their knowledge of a blog platform that more ProBlogger readers use than any other.

...Sabin-Wilson is, in my opinion, one of the best technical writers around. Her language is clear, uncluttered and free of artifice. Jerry Saperstein

I've seen the book she authors, and can fully appreciate the wealth of knowledge she has published for others....I first came across Lisa through her own blog, and find her to be an excellent communicator. Very friendly too. David Airey

Lisa is one of my favorite "For Dummies" authors. She wrote a book that I was personally in need of, and that filled a huge void in the marketplace. She's easy to work with, has great ideas, and is always willing to try something new. Ellen Gerstein

As an active (and successful) web designer using WordPress, she's in code almost every day and I've leaned on her knowledge and asked her input and feedback many, many times for our own WP projects. Cory Miller

Amazon Review

Lisa has done it again with the 3rd edition of WordPress for Dummies. This is the only book I recommend for any one interested in learning WordPress. If Lisa's name is on it, you will not be disappointed! Brad Williams

Ms Sabin-Wilson's book was the best of the lot, being at that time the only book on the market addressing the new features in WordPress Version 3.0. I used her code to structure new templates for a couple of the static pages. The book is a good introduction to neophytes and experienced web developers. Robert
