Melissa "eliza grace @ 2010-03-25  Fabulous resource for all levels of bloggers

I'm a blog designer that specializes in Typepad and I have still learned some new design tricks and great CSS tips from Typepad for Dummies. I am recommending this to all of my design clients - both newbies and experienced bloggers - because it has such great tips and easy to follow instructions for taking your Typepad blog to the next level!!

Kevin J. Lee @ 2010-04-25  If you're blogging with Typepad, buy this book!

The TypePad for Dummies Book by Melanie Nelson and Shannon Lowe is worth every penny. Even if you're using TypePad every day to manage your blog, like I do at [...], it is still a very good desk-side reference to have. It's already saved me probably 2-3 hours of time looking around on TypePad's site trying to figure out how to do something or tweak a function, etc. As a person who has bounced around on several blog platforms over the years, I would be remiss if I didn't say too that the TypePad folks are very helpful when you need them, and the book just adds to the available tools which keeps me with TypePad! Great resource here for sure! Buy it for sure.

The Avid Reader @ 2012-01-23  A must for any Typepad blogger

Buying this book was the best thing I could have done for my blog. It's thorough, easy to navigate, and written in layman's terms. I love Typepad, but it can be tricky and the help section can be frustrating. This book is the perfect solution! I'm looking forward to really playing with my blog's design as I read through the book!

turtledove @ 2011-10-13  Don't be a Dummie and download on a Kindle

This review is strictly for the Kindle edition. I downloaded the preview of this book on my Kindle after narrowing down my blogging options to TypePad and WordPress. The content is great and I like the writing, but I'm surprised that the publishers would even offer a Kindle edition of this book, rendering it nearly useless. The graphics of the screen shots that are in the book are not legible on a Kindle, so after paying for the Kindle download I now have to go out and buy the real book to see the graphics.

Luci Weston @ 2011-01-26  Get The Most Out Of Typepad With This Book

If you are blogging or thinking about starting a blog on Typepad, this is the book for you. It's comprehensive, user friendly, and filled with hidden gems to improve your existing blog or build a new one. When I received this book, I had already been using Typepad as my blogging platform. I wish I had this book when I started because it makes every step easy to follow. It would have saved a lot of time and effort. Besides the technical guidance, the authors offer sound advice on the approach, writing, and marketing of a blog. It's sure to be a well worn reference guide for anyone using Typepad.

Lexie @ 2010-05-02  Typepad for Dummies

What a great little book! At first i was reluctant to order any title that was aimed at 'dummies' because, like most of us I thought I wasn't dumb! Well, I was dumb - dumb about how simple using Typepad is when you have this book in front of you!
As the book says - you can read from cover to cover, or jump to chapters you need as you need them. It works! However, after only three weeks of looking at Typepad for Dummies I STILL need it - like a bible!
My usage criteria: my blog is a business blog; I am not HTML or code savvy; but I am learning very quickly how to build a community thanks to Typepad for dummies!!

Anastasia @ 2010-04-07  A Gem in your Personal Library

This is by far the best guide to TypePad and blogging that I have ever read. You can skip chapters, if you wish, or simply read through just like I did. Not only is this book an excellent guide for beginners but it is also a valuable resource for any experienced blogger.
