Excellent book about Weblogs

I am currently enjoying reading an excellent book that addresses practical aspects about developing and running a weblog. The book in question is called “The Weblog Handbook: Practical Advice on Creating and Maintaining Your Blog” by Rebecca Blood. I wish I had been able to find this book much earlier in my research, especially prior to using this blog. For anyone new to the area of blogs or even contemplating starting one, this book is a must read as it covers such topics as the history of weblogs, why use a weblog, practical advice on how to design and sustain one as well as a host of other essentail aspects relating to the Blogosphere. I feel that what sets this book apart from other books written about weblogs is that the book is written from the personal experience and views of the author – this I feel adds to the readability of the book and adds to the reasurrance that the author has direct experience of what she is writing/talking about.
