Building a beautiful, professional-looking WordPress website (or a blog) is no longer the computer geeks' domain. WordPress makes it possible for anyone to create a website that looks great on any device - PC, Mac, tablet, and phone. Whether you want to build a business site, an affiliate site, a hobby site, or a blog, WordPress is a great choice, and this book shows you how. The primary goal of this book is to take anyone, even an absolute beginner, from zero to WordPress "guru" in a few short hours.

Inside this book, veteran WordPress expert Andy Williams will start at the very beginning. You'll learn essential topics like:
