It’s a little dated, but a lot of The Weblog Handbook is still relevant, especially the chapter on blogging etiquette.

I’ve been blogging for a while, so the concepts covered in this book seemed fairly elementary to me. However, it might be a useful reference for someone who doesn’t understand blogs or is otherwise new to blogging.

It is better for beginning bloggers but a nice refresher for anyone who has been blogging awhile too. The author discusses topics very generally but discusses issues such as etiquette and the different elements that make up a blog.

As somebody who has been blogging for a long time I enjoyed the author’s point of view, which is that there was not a right or wrong way to blog.

I’ve just picked this up, and it looks like a nice companion to “We Blog”; that one is heavier on the practical advice of construction and machinery, while this one focuses on the why, what for, and how of writing within a community.

Blood has a pleasant, witty, accessible style that made this an interesting read, and gave me a lot to think about in regards to how I write my weblog. Definitely recommended for any bloggers out there.

why not? I may learn something I haven’t figured out in the last eight months.

I thought it was ok, would probably be better for newbie bloggers.
