Good Stuff
I have been building websites for about a year. Because of my past knowledge, the first 2/3 of the book was stuff I already knew.The cool thing about this book is that it can take a person from absolute beginer to experienced blogger in less than a week. The book is filled with illistrations and can be easily be read in less than a day. If you are new to blogs this book would be excellent. If you already have some experience with blogs this book might be alright, but keep in mind it starts off assuming no knowledge of the internet. Also, his genius thing is just a joke...he does not appear full of himself or take himself too seriously. Straightforward info where he does not talk over your head.

Great Book for New Bloggers
When I was curious about the social phenomenom of blogging, I looked through several books on the subject. The best of the lot was Blogging by Biz Stone. This book was very quick reading and helped me select a blogging software, which is a big decision you have to make right off the bat. You need to get a feel for whether you want to have somebody else host your blog or host it yourself. There is a decision to make on how much of the administrative tasks you want to take on. Biz's book allowed me to examine the popular blog providers and ferret out which provider was best for me. For someone that doesn't know HTML or CSS, there is a cut to the chase section to show you the basics. There are also some more advanced topics like group blogging, blogging for dollars, corporate blogging, syndication, and increasing blog site traffic. I highly recommend Blogging if you want to learn the basics of blogging in an easily readable book. Thanks, Biz.

Biz has it all covered and you can do it
I sent this email to Biz about his book:I have been tweaking my blog for a few months, I think I got it all set up. I bought your Blogging book and the one from the company with the animals on the cover. (What's with that? Gr Animals for the tech world?) Anyway the other book sits and yours is all tore up with notes in the margins etc. Thanks again It explains what it is all about, how to do it and how to tweak it all so it works and people find out about it. Well written and very useful. www.bigrick.fm
