Create Your Own Website, 2nd Edition
About a year ago I blogged about my most recent book, Create Your Own Website (Using What You Already Know). This book was my first stab at a book aimed at computer novices and examined how to build your own website using Mozilla's Composer, a free WYSIWYG HTML editor. The book has sold well and even though I promised myself to stick to books geared toward developers, I let my editor talk me into writing a 2nd edition.
Whereas the first edition focuses solely on building your own website from the ground up, the 2nd edition turns its attention more to using free online services to help. The 2nd edition still has two chapters on using Mozilla Composer to create a website from the ground up, but also examines:
- Selling items online with eBay Stores
- Publishing content online with the help of Blogger, and
- Sharing and ordering photos with SnapFish
These three additional chapters took about a month and change to write/edit/author review.
As I mentioned in my blog post about the 1st edition, you are strongly encouraged to purchase multiple copies for your non-computer savvy friends and family members. :-)
