Funny You Should Ask: How to Make a Website: The 100% Not Boring Guide to Setting Up Your Website with Wordpress (Funny You Should Ask: Breaking Down Internet Marketing, Publishing, SEO and More)

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

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.

This book was a great read - it stepped me through one topic at a time. It was easy to follow and enabled me to gain the confidence to do this myself. One note: the copy and paste illustrations in the copy of my book were blurry and hard to read. Fortunately, Lori accompanied each illustration with a detailed description which help make me understand what was being displayed. If you need to set-up a website as a beginner - this is for you!

Mostly for blogs very little on e-commerce

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.

Lori knows her stuff and her instructions are easy and very clear to understand and there is no fear for me when I have her book to follow. She follows up to make sure you are ok and on track. She stays with you to get your input on anything she may have more to add. Thank you Lori

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!

This book provides step-by-step instructions for creating a website. The author explains what, why, and how to do everything. She's funny, too. I wish I'd read it two years ago. I would've done a lot of things differently, and maybe I'd be farther ahead than I am now. Buy this book. It's worth every penny.

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

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.
