I finally decided to do a blog, and I bought WordPress for Dummies. Very nice to meet you, bro! You simplified things greatly for me since I had difficulty with the simple WordPress site.

Hi,

Add me to your WordPress Dummy List, I have just signed up for a Bluehost hosting account and have installed the WordPress 2.8.4. I was just wondering if the current edition of WordPress For Dummies, is going to help me understand the 2.8.4 version. Since it’s based on the 2.7.X WordPress version, would the screenshots, in the book, match that of the 2.8.4.

Took a plunge and got drowned in the navigation of WordPress 2.8.4, most of the video tutorial available online, are based on older versions.

Can Anyone out there please help me understand this book a little bit more before I take another plunge, buy this book and get drown again. Well I was just wondering if an edited version of this book, based on the 2.8.4 version, is available.

Me! The Dummy Of All Dummies.

Thanks so much for writing Word Press for Dummies, 2nd edition. I’ve been blogging with TypePad for 5 years and used Movable Type a bit before that. The book completely paved a path for my experiment with converting my static tokerud.com site into a blog-based wordpress site. Excellent, well-written book you wrote there.

Congrats. Really looking forward to checking it out. I just don’t have the time to learn all of this stuff the hard way so your book will really help me out.

@Jeet – I am pretty sure Wiley has already confirmed an author for the TypePad book, I’m waiting to hear from them on it – then I will announce it here so people know

I’m starting my latest WP-related book this month, and will make an announcement about it as soon as i have it a bit further long in the process. You’d be surprised to find that more and more people are using WPMU and BuddyPress every day. Normally, I get anywhere form 20-25 requests for custom site work on a weekly basis. Mostly, they are requests for custom WordPress work. Lately, though? They’ve almost all been requests for WPMU/BuddyPress deployments. So, I would have to respectfully disagree that only evangelists are using it – - maybe that was true last year, but you’re going to see quite an increase in the number, and types, of sites who are using it. It’s pretty exciting – the addition of BuddyPress has quadrupled the excitement surrounding the WPMU platform!

@Lisa: Who will be the new author for the typepad book? I hope to see another book from you with some advanced topics. WordPress MU and BuddyPress will still take time in going mainstream though, they are ‘mostly’ being used by evangelists.
