Book Overview: In the last two years, blogging has exploded. Right now there are more than 32 million blogs in existence, and 32,000 new blogs are created every month. Blogger, owned by Google, hosts more than 8 million blogs, more than any of the three dozen other blog hosting systems. 31.6 million blogs have been created on hosting services, and that number is expected to grow to 53.4 million in 2005. Although it is sometimes assumed that blogs are politically or technologically oriented, approximately 70% of blogs are written by ordinary people, on a wide range of topics that are relevant to the author. Written for that ordinary person who wants their own voice on the web, Blogging in a Snap is a comprehensive guide to blogging using Blogger. Though some aspects of Blogger are simple to use, the online documentation is very limited, and what is available is not intuitive. It's only useful if you already know how to blog and use a blog hosting service. Blogging in a Snap provides everything the reader needs to create and maintain their blog, from basic blogging information such as setting up a blog to creative blogging tricks and techniques to blogging etiquette (a very important element of successful blogging). Blogging in a Snap covers the many features a available to bloggers, like template customization, trackback, commenting, photo-sharing and RSS feeds.
