    The topics are good. It would be fine if you can add another chapter on "How to monetize your Wordpress Blog?". :)

    How to monetize your Wordpress Blog would be the same as how to monetize a website

    It could be another book

    I would be interested in the # 5 (Building a Niche Blog with WordPress)

    I tend not to go for ebooks, i feel they seem to miss a lot of info, ive usually finished an ebook feeling disappointed that it didn't provide enough information.

    To me i'll not go for an ebook related to how you can start/install a Wordpress or something, i would rather go directly to their webpage and see the manual which is to the point and easy to work out with, all the installation things and all goes pretty smooth and with on screen instructions, the whole point is; it would be helpful for a person who is going to master is Wordpress, from the basics to the advanced level.

    BTW the 5th part/portion of ebook would be to my interest :)

    Thanks for sharing

    I use this Revolution Blog theme Demo, is free with no ads on the footer, the theme is clean and it comes with 3 different setup. I have lots of success with this one, the ads blend very nice with the blue, but if you have css experience you can change the colors as you like.

    Success with Wordpress (or anything) comes down to how much you are dedicated and an ebook specially focused for Wordpress set up/get go/carry on kinda topic is really not worthwhile. Just my honest opinion though.

    However, if you are reading a book because you want to gain knowledge the classic bookish way, then it is a whole different story and is more than worthwhile!

    The point is that sometimes you and me don't have a computer and we can read and still learn ;)

    I agree with you... I am also keen to learn...But maybe we should change our "tactics" - read only that part of book that we need most...I also want to add that while a were reading books I find that most of them have duplicated content...Really interesting books are hard to find but they worth the price
