WordPress in Depth

WordPress has grown into the #1 blogging tool in its category: several million bloggers have downloaded this powerful open source software, and millions more are using WordPress.com's hosted services. Thirty-two of Technorati's Top 100 blogs now use WordPress. This is a comprehensive reference for everyone who wants to use either WordPress or WordPress.com more effectively -- regardless of their experience with WordPress or with blogging. Gavin Powell's WordPress InDepth offers comprehensive guidance for every aspect of using WordPress -- from downloading, installing, and securing it through blog design, templates, themes, posting entries, working with comments and email, and managing WordPress blogs. For bloggers who want to customize their blogs, Powell offers extensive coverage - introducing powerful techniques that can't be performed from the standard GUI interface, but require coding and custom widgets.
