Great Book for Learning to do a Website Step-by-step!
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.

Decent Book With Good Ideas
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.

Informative and fun to read
I found the book very informative and as a beginner it really hit the mark. Lori also has a great sense of humor so fun to read. Not like a text book. Gives a lot of good advice to help save you money. Very happy I purchased the book

Will help you get moving forward
Lori has written an informative, yet easy to understand guide to getting off the dime. Unless you are already a webmaster, I believe this book will help you, as it has me. There are so many decisions, and questions for a neophyte, it's easy to get mired in "the Slough of Despond" (John Bunyan). Her humorous and encouraging prose will help you take the next step, and have a better feel for the best steps forward (none of us like to make mistakes). You will be in good hands with Ms. Culwell. Buy it!

Start at the beginnig
I have not finished with it but I am very happy with this book. I know nothing about building a website and want to create one for my grandson's Cub Scout Pack. I wanted something that STARTED FROM THE BEGINNING and did not assume any prior knowledge. This book was just what the doctor ordered.

A Must-Have Read for Wordpress Beginners!
This book is an absolute gem for anyone looking to get a website off the ground - whether you’re a total newbie or someone like me who’s been around the WordPress block a few times. The step-by-step guidance is crystal clear and genuinely covers everything you’ll need. It breaks down the process in such an approachable, conversational tone that even the most tech-shy reader could follow along with confidence. I especially appreciated the attention to those often-overlooked fundamentals - like setting permalinks with page titles - which are crucial for long-term site health and SEO but rarely explained well. Even as a more seasoned user, I found myself nodding along and picking up fresh tips. There’s a wealth of advice packed into these pages, and it never feels dry or overly technical. The author’s style is friendly, encouraging, and peppered with insights that make the whole experience feel like chatting with a savvy friend who’s got your back. If you’re thinking about making a site - or just want to sharpen your WordPress KB - do yourself a favour and buy this book. You’ll be glad you did.

A great book
I bought Word Press for beginners, 279 pages. Apparently the White House uses this program. I did read some of it but as someone who was born many decades before silicone chips were invented l gave up. But now l have found and bough Lori Culwell’s book l now feel l will be able to tackle Word Press

Friendly and helpful
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.
