Site Updates to Be Discontinued
As some of you may have realized, our WordPress book was not updated for version 2.5 as originally planned and is unlikely to be updated for any future version of WordPress. We’ve decided, therefore, to discontinue updating this book support site.
The posts that we’ve written and the comments that have been left on this site will remain as an archive. Although quite a bit of this information is out-of-date, there’s still enough useful information to keep it available. Comments for all posts, however, have been closed so no new comments can be posted.
Both of us continue to use, write about, and provide training material for WordPress. If you’re interested in getting up-to-date WordPress materials, we recommend that you visit us at our other Web sites.
For Maria Langer:
- Maria’s Guides (http://www.MariasGuides.com) provides how-to articles about topics covered in all of Maria’s Books and video training materials.
- An Eclectic Mind (http://www.MariaLanger.com) is Maria’s blog, where she sounds off on a wide variety of topics.
- Lynda.com (http://lynda.com) publishes Maria’s WordPress training videos.
For Miraz Jordan:
- The KnowIT bookstore is the home of a new series of practical ebooks for WordPress users. Currently available:
- How to backup your WordPress website
- How WordPress is put together
- KnowIT (http://knowit.co.nz) is where Miraz publishes a wide range of how-to articles for using WordPress and other software products.
- MacTips (http://mactips.info) provides a new practical Tip each week for users of Macs, iPods, iPhones and other Apple products.
We’d like to note that the demise of our book has nothing to do with the popularity of WordPress. It remains one of the most popular blogging platforms out there, with millions of bloggers using WordPress.com or self-hosted WordPress installations. It continues to be updated regularly with new features and interface improvements. Both Maria and Miraz use WordPress for all of their blogging and CMS needs and highly recommend it to others.
If you bought our book, thanks so much for your support. We hope you’ll continue to let us help you get more out of WordPress — and your computer — by visiting us at any of the above-listed sites.
