 Essential Blogging -- Review
The book was edited by Nat Torkington and authored by Rael Dornfest, Cory Doctorow, J. Scott Johnson, Bejamin Trott, Mena Trott, and myself. In case you're curious, I wrote the Blogger chapters. Essential Blogging covers basic weblogging technology and concepts, as well as specific weblogging tools: Userland's Radio, Blogger, Movable Type, and Blosxon. In addition to the public review, you can also add your input to the book. Rael Dornfest has put out a request for contributions for Chapter 15 -- Blogging Voices. Have something to say? Of course you do; you're a weblogger. You have to gag us to shut us up. Well, here's your chance to get your words in an O'Reilly book. Nat's also looking for suggestions for the critter to feature on the book cover. Silly boy. We all know what animal to put on the cover of a weblogging book, don't we? Update: O'Reilly went with a picture of a Meerkat.

Most awesome, Shelley - I'm downloading the PDFs as I write. And the "Blogging Voices" is a great idea... maybe all the musicians I've been trying to convince to use weblogs will finally concede if O'Reilly decides to print my blurb on successes with weblogs concerning my music. Especially if it's worded better than that last sentence. Anyway, congratulations! Posted by: Shannon on May 22, 2002 06:16 PM"Blogs Suck; Especially Yours." That's the title of the inaugural post of my new blog. Posted by: Walter on May 22, 2002 08:06 PM...The URL of which is http://www.trip23.com/fab/. Posted by: Walter on May 22, 2002 08:07 PMMeerkat?
