5.0 out of 5 stars This book is Heaven sent, October 11, 2008

This review is from: The Really, Really, Really Easy Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Own Website: For Absolute Beginners of All Ages (Paperback)

I am lost when it comes to internet technology. I have two web sites but it would take a lot of begging and pleading to get the sites updated by the developers. They would also be asking for rediculous amount of money just to add a bit of colour to the sites.

I got fed up and suddenly it dawned on me that I might just be able to build a site where I would have 100% control over contents and updates. I finally ordered this book and within a week of following the 'really, really, really easy' steps I have now hosted my brand new website.

From being a complete novice, this book has turned me into a mini guru on website building.

1.0 out of 5 stars For Windows only, October 31, 2010

Was really excited to have this book; great book layout design, user-friendly, easy to read, step-by-step learning, and large-type ... until several pages into it, you realize you need to download application tools in order to proceed. The apps are free, which is great, but somewhere before opening the cover, should have said FOR WINDOWS ONLY (it's on the back, very last sentence). If you're using "some other operating system" you can't make adaptations if you aren't able to use the required applications. 5 stars for the book layout, 1 star for content.

Well this book is true to the title. I found it to be very informative but at the same time the overall book was written poorly. I could not get some of the software they wanted me to download to work on my computer and some of the versions did not match up. They do not show you how to fix any problems with downloaded software which basically means that if it doesn't work then you wasted your money on the book. I compare this book to a text book and did not like it at all. I would not buy this book.
