Building a Web Site  2008-03-08
No matter what you're doing for pleasure or for business this is the book to have. It is so well written and understandable.
Personally I want to start a stay at home business since I am just becoming a bit more handicapped. However, it will benefit anyone who wants to know more about that computer we all have and want to know more.
At Least The Title Is Right  2008-02-09
This was my first "for Dummies" book purchase and it will be the last (unfortunately, I also purchased "Building Web Pages for Dummies" at the same time. A How-To book this not....you get no step-by-step instructions, what you do get is a lot of information that is generally available on the internet with a dose of new-age you can do anything you want if you try.........well, at least the title is right..........only a DUMMY would buy this book.
Will not teach you how to build a website. 2007-12-17
You will not learn how to build a website with this book period. Not recommended for buying. Go to BN and read a little and you'll see. You are a dummy if you buy this book.
Old & Tired Information  2007-09-10
This information is so old that it's not of much use. I'm not an expert web site designer, but I found this book practically useless. Better to use iWeb, with their lovely templates and ease of use.
Very well written  2007-05-20
Building a web site for Dummies, by David A. Crowder ,is a very well written step by step guide that has all you will need to start not only a web site but a successful one. It is easy reading and has plenty of humor to keep you from going to sleep before you actually learn something.
