Originally released in 2006, the second edition of Blogging for Dummies has just been released. From folks looking to get a blog off the ground to large companies wondering if the reward outweighs the risk, ‘Dummies’ covers a myriad of blogosphere issues.
* Choosing what to blog about
* Setting your goals
* Making mistakes
* Keeping your job
* Avoiding embarrassment
* Protecting your privacy
* Choosing the right software and hosting
* Handling spam and comments
* Making money blogging
* Blogging for companies
Written by self-proclaimed blogging “nerd” Shane Birley and “blogging expert” Susannah Gardner, the book, like most ‘Dummies” products, seems to be a good launching point for those new to blogging. I’ve always found these books to be useful in answering all of those questions you’re afraid to ask in public.

I would have thought that there would have been more to the book. What about blog design? Networking? … or are these things more advanced topics.
