The Blogger’s Handbook is a useful publication for neophyte WordPress bloggers like me—offering tips on design options, blog management, and template modification.
Before sharing many cool blog designs out there on the ‘Net, The Blogger’s Handbook guides readers through a history of the WordPress platform. Tutorials and articles in this publication that I found helpful and interesting include: customizing your blog’s background using Photoshop techniques, microblogging with Twitter, and an insightful interview with Digg creative director Daniel Burka.
David Pogue’s The World According To Twitter is funny, witty, and represents some of the best posts found on Twitter. In fact, this compilation combines humor, creativity, and interesting stories about people’s lives.
Identify an irony of life
You’ve lived your life this far. What have you learned?
You know you’re a Twitter addict when…
David Pogue’s book also presents stories about people getting tattoos, cute things kids say, getting dumped, worst job stories, and memories of one’s first kiss.
In addition to plenty of puns and “twitterspeak,” individuals share some of the greatest moments of their lives, as well as many examples of situational awkwardness that I found funny, tragic, and pathetically relatable. Pogue’s book even includes micro-blogs of weird numerical coincidences, wordplay, and my favorite: Summarize a famous book in 140 characters. For example, the following are two of my favorite book summaries:
He was beautiful, so beautiful. All I could think or write about was his beautiful beauty. Oh, and he was a vampire

The World According To Twitter = Much more than a joke book. It’s an enjoyable collection of tweets and wisdom that made me laugh and think about life.
