Google Blogger For Dummies
I usually am a little disappointed with “for Dummies” books – but not this one. I am 73 years old and have decided to set up my own blog. I borrowed this book from the library and found it to be very helpful. I am so impressed with this book that I am writing my very first review here.
The author, Susan Gunelius, writes about everything from setting up the blog to search engine optimization in a very clear and organized manner. If a grandmother can understand the book, everyone should be able to. I’m ordering my own copy of “Google Blogger for Dummies” to keep handy as I progress with my blog.

The “Dummie Books” are available everywhere. I chose Amazon because I had not seen this particular book on any shelf. I knew that if it existed….Amazon would not only have it but that they could get it shipped to me ASAP. The book itself is simple and concise and offers ideas that I might have been long finding using my trial and error methods. Amazon is always my go to shop. FYI and no I am not on their payroll…..just a fan !

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.
