If you are new to WordPress, this book is a good start to the process. It walks you through the various steps needed to create a blog. Should you want to do more, it certainly provides the information needed to expand the process. I have referred back to it a number of times as I work to master the process of a blog. I have watched a number of videos on WordPress. They are helpful too but being able to refer to something as I work has been very useful.
I find most of the manuals that come standard with digital cameras to be lacking. Details can be omitted and the organization of the manual is not always terrific. This book helps you understand how the camera works. It also provides you with some examples of how the camera can be used in different situations. Canon now has a G12, however some of the information found here would be useful for that camera a well since it is a field guide to the G11 and not just a dedicated manual for the camera.
I have read a number of books by Bryan Peterson. They have added much to my understanding of what makes a better picture. This book adds to this understanding. Bryan writes in a clear, easy to comprehend style. The book certainly gives you considerable information on the role of the shutter speed as you work to improve your photographic skills. You learn much from any of Bryan's books. This is no exception.
