I got this book from the library and may eventually buy it when the book is due. I got it to get a crash course in making a website. It has lots of pictures, like a children's book, and is very easy to read and understand. I found it quite inspiring.

Like a children's book, it introduces the subject without going into a lot of detail. The author seems to approach designing the pages of a website as though she were making scrapbook pages. Her pages are very warm and lighthearted and full of color. She gives lots of ideas and many tips.

I think that the author pretty well covers the areas of making websites using a drag and drop program. However, I say this not having made a website of my own yet since I am still bogged down in learning to work with digital photos on the computer. Not even having a digital camera, I'm beginning from scratch and trying to learn a lot of different things at once, such as scanning and the several programs I have available to edit and save images. YouTube is still beyond me. I keep her book at hand to refer to as I learn about each area.

The author has included a glossary and resources section in the back to get you to the next level. Her photos and illustrations are great fun to look at. Overall, therefore, I will say that this book is a great introduction for beginners to learn about making websites.
