Regarding Hayder’s book: the section on how to create a theme is very confusing. I haven’t given up yet.

“I sincerely believe a new paradigm shift is upon us and so what if every author isn’t a New York Times best seller.”

Oh, I totally agree with you there. Most books don’t make it to the NYT list, and it’s not because they aren’t best seller material. It’s because they’re unknown to the masses. I’ve read some great books that were well written and/or original.

Yes, the internet and blogging are two of the best marketing tools for writers. I love technology!

Thanks for the tip. I plan to buy both books. I actually thought of writing a similar book, but opted for focusing on an overall strategy instead. I do, however, try to cover the big tactics like virtual book tours, how to effectively copywright, virtual book tours etc. I sincerely believe a new paradigm shift is upon us and so what if every author isn’t a New York Times best seller. The point is making money with books. The internet and blogging give authors tools to do that if they know how to use them and if they stick with it.

You’re welcome, and I share your sentiment about theme building. I’m going to give Hayder’s tutorial a dry run when I return from my vacation.

Thanks for the reviews, Deborah. I’ll be interested to know how the theme building goes. I’ve often thought about building a theme from scratch myself…but usually push the thought aside as it seems so complex and exhausting.

You’re welcome! I’ve yet to find any book on WordPress like yours. Best wishes for your book’s success.

Thanks for the lovely review! And there is no way my Blogging Tips book can compete with a WordPress Guide. Totally unrelated. My book has few WordPress Tips.

I’m glad it helped!
