The blogs here are a mix of opinion and how-to's, with recipes, reviews, and news taking up the bulk of the pages. Pizza is a loved food, and there are people who are committed to the act of cooking and eating as an art form. http://www.californiaculinaryschools.org/pizza-blogs

Sharrie posted a Quick Tip about WordPress.
February 16, 2011
This is my second attempt on WordPress. The first time? Years ago and too overwhelming for me to try. I deleted the a/c almost as soon as I signed up. This time round, I found some themes I like so I was more willing to give it another try. Yes, it's still not as easy as Blogger but it's a little more versatile and looks nicer. Hence, I'm willing to give it another go. Love the preview function which … more
I have a blog on Wordpress. I've had it since February of 2008 and I've really enjoyed it! I've made sure to update it daily, I create new articles constantly and I average about 450 users a day. These are all good things. But despite that, I know there's room for improvement. I know there's changes I could make. For example, I own my own domain name and have planned for the … more
Some of the reviews from this website... " Hey girl, I have really enjoyed reading your blog, and I am encouraged to hear how your internship with CPM has gone. May God richly bless you today, and especially for the willing heart you have to serve Him. Love Denise" "Generally I do not comment on blogs, but I would like to say this … more
My answer is hell no. Wordpress has beautiful themes for download but the best ones are for the hosted WordPress blogs, not the templates from WP.com - and I was tickled to see great looking themes that had been converted to Blogger templates. Here was my experience after spending hours (literally) trying to get the damned things to work on my Blogger. I opened … more
This is Lisa Sabin-Wilson's 3rd Edition of her bedrock "WordPress For Dummies". I own all three editions and each is thicker and filled with more knowledge than the prior edition. If anyone asks me how to learn, manage and use WordPress, this is what I recommend. It is truly A through Z coverage. Sabin-Wilson is, in my opinion, one of the best technical writers around. Her … more
It always helps when evaluating a book to understand who it was written for. This book is written for reasonably experienced web designers, those who actually understand the what web code does and how it works, not just someone who can run Dreamweaver. Much of the custom functionality available in Wordpress is accessed by coding theme pages. This is a coder's book. It won't … more
WordPress is extremely popular for good reason. It offers the best combination of features and power with ease of use. Blogger is simpler to use but it's easy to want more than it can give. Other content management systems like Drupal are very powerful but very complicated. WordPress hits that 'baby bear' - just right spot for the majority of people. But Wordpress is actually two products. [.. … more
WordPress, yes. In depth, not at my end of the pool. Sidebar--I don't own any of Que's books besides this one (I think). I find the page layout distracting--what's the value of the blue bars down the side of the page? Wasted ink, IMO. Actually, the more I thumb through the book as I consider this review, the bluer the content gets. I'm old. It's hard to read. Legibility matters. &nbs … more
I first came across WordPress while I was looking for a place to make a free/ cheap website for my company, International Baseball Connect. Not knowing much about building websites, hosting, or driving traffic, I was referred to WordPress from a close friend. From the beginning WordPress was great! Easy to use, clean, and made sense. One thing that really popped out to me … more
As a programmer, I expect a certain level of specificity from books about things like SEO and social media. Website Optimization, for instance, is a wonderfully detailed, technical yet highly readable book on how to achieve higher search engine rankings and more conversions. Inbound Marketing, by contrast, is for non-technical managers. It assumes that you have employees who will figure out the details … more
If you are just starting out with WordPress, then the best book I've found for that is Lisa Sabin Wilson's "WordPress For Dummies" (WPD). WPD will carry you surprisingly far into the installation, use, maintenance and extension of WordPress. It is now in its second edition with a third expected soon. For most people, WPD will suffice. But If your needs … more
