Gift Idea for Aspiring Bloggers

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

A couple of fellow Friends in Tech members, and the hosts of Technorama, Chuck Tomasi and Kreg Steppe, informed me the other day that the new version of their book about learning WordPress, Sams Teach Yourself WordPress 3 in 10 Minutes is now available.

For those of you looking to get started with WordPress, or as a gift to someone you know who is starting out with WordPress for their website platform of choice, this is a great little resource to get you started. Heck, I bet there’s even something new in there for many of us who’ve been using WordPress for awhile!

There’s only a week before Christmas, pick it up now! 😉
