Essential Blogging: Selecting and Using Weblog Tools Review by Mathew A. Shember

Helpful for the beginner.

This was a curiosity read. I would consider myself a beginner blogger and found some of the contents to be useful and some of it not.

Overall this book is an introduction for a novice. You get a discussion for blogger, moveable type, radio userland, blogger pro, and a couple I had not heard of called blosxum and blagg.

I read the chapters on blogger, blogger pro and radio userland and found them interesting to a degree. I skimmed the rest.

I found the chapter on tools to be the most valuable as I really don't have any. I am looking into some of them to streamline my blogging efforts.

The final chapter contains quotes from various bloggers. I really don't see the value of it and wonder if it's just space filer.

Overall, this is not a bad book but I don't think it will remain on my shelf after my skills and knowledge improve.
