Blogging in Action by Shaun Taylor and Jared Conley covers the many topics of blogging in more detail than any of the other blogging courses I have reviewed. The book has 4 parts and it begins with your typical blogging basics, then a detailed step-by-step print and video on installing Wordpress. Followed by configuring and setting up your blog.

The last half of the book covers writing content, and other chapters like how to write good posts, how to blog, and what kind of posts to write. The information here is incredible because it is something that is never mention in the other courses.

The final section of the book talks about defining your niche, building your brand, monetizing your blog, leveraging Web 2.0, and other advanced topics. What is different about this book compared to the others on blogging is that he shows you exactly what works best. For example he shows describes in detail how to style and format your AdSense and affiliate ads.

There is a lot of information to digest, so you have to take it easy when you first start out. Pace yourself so you wont burnt out with information overload. Shaun has actually written the book where you can skip any information that is not actionable.

Shaun Taylor is widely regarded as a technical and accurate blogger, and has been interviewed in Bloghology magazine alongside other respected bloggers like Yaro Starak, John Cow, and Steve Pavlina.

The bonuses in this package are actually helpful, consisting of a simple keyword tool (this is the same keyword tool as the one in Atomic Blogging, just rebranded), security software, backup software, and a large number of videos. So whether you learn by reading or seeing, you should be able to get a lot out of this comprehensive package that sells for a very modest price.
