This is NOT the title of this book! I'll have to do something about it, I guess.
I bought this book primarily for his recommendations for specific WordPress themes for photography sites, vendors to use for printing photos, etc.
This book focuses on using the open source program WordPress to quickly create an affordable and easy to maintain website and/or blog for your photography, be it professional or casual.
If you are already familiar with domains and using WordPress then I would suggest browsing it in a store first or perhaps getting it from a library before purchasing it as you will know much of what you are paying for.
The information is extremely well presented and is of current as of mid-2011. This is not to say that it will rapidly go out-of-date but the look of things in the many screenshots will, of course, change rapidly. If you are able to abstract back out to the principle/function being described and not be fixated on the pictures and the exact words, which should not be hard to do, then it will be valuable for even longer.
Highly recommended if you are considering a photo blog/website, whether for fun or profit, with the caveat that if you know a bit about using WordPress already then you will be using it for more specific purposes than it's overall content.
