WordPress 2.7 Complete is a new book from Packt that will introduce users to the rich and powerful features of WordPress, and get them started with a state-of-the-art blog as quickly as possible. Written by April Hodge Silver, this book will help users to customize and market their blog using WordPress as a CMS.

Developers will be introduced to the main aspects of a blog – users, communities, posts, comments, news feeds – and learn how to manage them using WordPress. They will learn how to upgrade from older installations, and personalize and control the content of their website using feature-rich widgets and plug-ins.  In addition to this, users will manage the look and feel of their WordPress website with customized themes and templates.

This book teaches readers how to manage and handle a mutli-user blog, including a detailed outline of the roles and capabilities included in WordPress. Additionally, it covers, from start to finish, how to create a non-blog website using WordPress. It includes discussion of designing  a theme, getting set up, creating custom pages that display post content in non-blog ways, customizing the homepage to contain dynamic content, and creating a news page.

Developers interested in creating a blog in a straightforward manner or customizing and expanding the capabilities of a WordPress website will find this book useful. The book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit: http://www.packtpub.com/wordpress-2-7-complete-2nd-edition/book
