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 final half of the book discusses about content creation, with chapters on how to blog, how to write good posts, what kinds of posts to write, etc. This is probably the most valuable part of the book since it is rarely discuss in other blogging 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 useful information in this 258-page e-book so my advice is once you learn a new technique then you must immediately implement it, and Shaun provides all the necessary steps to follow. Just take each advice one piece at a time.

Shaun Taylor is a widely respected and well known blogger who has been interviewed in Bloghology magazine with other respected bloggers like John Cow, Steve Pavlina, and Yaro Starak.

Surprisingly, the bonuses for this course is actually useful, such as the keyword tool, security and backup software, and a large number of videos (over 40 of them). You get to learn by both reading and watching.

PROBLEMS: The book can be overwhelming at times because there is so much good information, take your time when reading it -- I have always come back to his book because all the information from the other blogging courses were lacking.
