This book helped me figure out how to convert an existing site to a WordPress theme, an especially challenging project since my existing html page design didn’t have any clear header, middle, footer arrangement. I was able to figure out where I wanted to take things with my own theme development mostly from reading Chapter 6. (Getting under the engine with the WP template tags is far more empowering than following a tutorial that has you start out by fiddling around with an image in Photoshop.) Well written, too.

This book is easy to read. Covers all of the bases you need to get started. I am an experienced web designer just getting into WordPress. This book was extremely helpful.

A book of this type should have a really good index. It doesn’t: Try finding entries, for example, on attachments to posts. Or how to upload and add media files to a post. Even items that are listed such as Permalinks lead you to at best cursory and incomplete information.

Well written and easy to find what you are looking for. Great reference for those in the know and good guidance for the beginner.

I cannot say enough about this book or recommend it highly enough. I laughed, I cried, I felt the full gamut of human emotions. Reading this book, you will feel that you’ve lived life to its top. And WordPress 2.7? That coy, seductive charmer? Like a woman known in love, that is the way you will know her by the time you reach the last, savored page of this book. Her eyes–oh! Her lips–oh! Her custom themes and templates–mmm! She will hold no secrets for you. This is as it should be if you are in deepest love, or about to make a blog–which amounts to the selfsame thing. And just like falling in love, it is all too easy. Thank you, WordPress 2.7. You changed my life. Thank you.
