This book was easy to use and had simple instructions to get a blog started. I was up and running within a couple of days of reading.

This book has just about everything you need to know about blogging. I think most people will want to keep it as a reference book, and that is its value IMO. Be aware, though, that the book includes much hype–over and over again–about Google Blogger, itself.

I’ve had my blog up and running for a couple of weeks and decided to get this book to help fill in some gaps in what I had learned on my own. I was not disappointed.
It is easy to just take a chapter at a time and you can skip around as needed. It is a great reference book. I have a Kindle and started to buy that version, but decided to go with the hardcopy. This was a good call as I have highlighted and dog-eared a lot of the pages so I can easily flip to sections I need to reference.
While you can learn a lot about Blogger online, I find it helpful on my eyes to get away from the computer screen every now and then and read a “real” book. Also, there aren’t many books exclusively devoted to Blogger (like this one)so this was also a real plus.
One of the ways the book helped me the most, was in creating a unique domain name for my blog. I wanted to have a url that didn’t have the .blogspot.com at the end of it. The author walked me through the steps and it took all of 5 minutes! This alone saved me a lot of time and was worth the price of the book. [...]
Good luck with your blogging!

The “Dummies” franchise is notoriously uneven with lots of low-quality titles and a relatively few good ones. “Google Blogger For Dummies” is a winner.
Susan Gunelius effortlessly walks the reader through the history of blogs and Blogger, in particular, the mechanics of starting, maintaining and growing a blog and ehnhancing your blog with templates, widgets, elements and gadgets. Then Gunelius segues into “Making Money with Blogger”.
This section is surprisingly well done and thorough. It lists a number of resources for monetizing your blog and has a pretty detailed discussion of Google’s AdSense program. Gunelius then moves on to networking and relationship building.
All in all, Susan Gunelius has turned out a very usable guide to getting started with Google Blogger, growing into as sophisticated a blog as you like and, if you are so moved (and have enough traffic), monetizing and growing it. Good work. Do remember that this guide is oriented toward Blogger beginners.
If you’d like a good introduction to WordPress, Google Blogger’s major competitor, checkout another “dummies” title, WordPress For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)).
