Funny You Should Ask: How to Make a Website: The 100% Not Boring Guide to Setting Up Your Website with Wordpress (Funny You Should Ask: Breaking Down Internet Marketing, Publishing, Seo and More)

Lori knows her stuff and her instructions are easy and very clear to understand and there is no fear for me when I have her book to follow. She follows up to make sure you are ok and on track. She stays with you to get your input on anything she may have more to add. Thank you Lori

I have had a domain name for a long time contemplating doing a webpage for my book business. I kept putting it off not knowing what I was doing. This book saved me. I had tried navigating WordPress on GoDaddy but became even more confused. I stumbled on this book and was pleasantly surprised that it is easy to follow and forces you to get organized from the start and then how to go on and create your page. One thing that also was great was that it tells you how to own your own domain and gives reasons why not to turn everything over to a developer without certain protections in place. That alone totally saved me a lot of heartache. One chapter talks about how to keep from paying high prices every month to maintain a page. Also it talks about how to transfer your current webpage to any domain you want. I would definitely recommend this to a beginner who is thinking about creating their first web page. It has so much great info I have not found elsewhere.

This is a very good example of an instructional book that is easy to follow and acxtually quite fun in places. The advice given is fully specific where it has to be, but also informational on a more general level so as to increase the reader's understanding of website construction and administration. I have not yet discovered what "Hello Dolly" on Wordpress is but I do now know that it is annoying and should be deleted! I am using this book to build a website for my local theatre, it is an invaluable and highly useable guide to the whole labyrinthine process.

This book was a great read - it stepped me through one topic at a time. It was easy to follow and enabled me to gain the confidence to do this myself. One note: the copy and paste illustrations in the copy of my book were blurry and hard to read. Fortunately, Lori accompanied each illustration with a detailed description which help make me understand what was being displayed. If you need to set-up a website as a beginner - this is for you!

I was expecting something else, I guess. The book had some good ideas, but I certainly wasn’t able to make a blog website on Wordpress with it. Some of the photos were too fuzzy for me to read. I’m still glad I purchased it because there are good ideas about maintaining your site.
