Reader Reviews
This book is so disorganized that it is difficult even to review it. There is no logical progression. The book starts with how to publish a website which is the last thing you do in creating one. The rest of it is a series of loosely related topics. If you end up buying this book, I would suggest starting in the index because it is probably going to be your most direct way of finding what you are looking for.
