So while there is material out there to get more information on the the inner working of WordPress, reading books about this topic is a great way of expanding your knowledge.

So I was looking for a book on this subject and I happen to know that one book is currently in the works and will be out in early 2010. This book will surely provide a good deal of information and insight.

You can already pre-order the book, here are links to the German Amazon store: http://www.amazon.de/Professional-Wordpress-Hal-Stern/dp/0470560541 and to the US Amazon store: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-WordPress-Hal-Stern/dp/0470560541

Now, you might be wondering what the content of the book will be and it so happens that there is a bit more available: see below image.

As soon as the book is out and/or more information is available, I’m surely will be happy to tell you more about it. I’m really looking forward to it.

As is obvious, I went for Wordpress. And up to now, it seems the decision was a good one. The installation was smooth and easy and it worked right from the start.

I decided to do a fresh install though my hoster (all-inkl.com) offers a one-click install. Wanted to experience myself how easy or difficult this is and it is really not difficult. There are great documents that help (I used this one here on the Wordpress site) and the install goes smoothly. Only additional part on my side was to add a specific page with an Impressum so we are ok from a legal point of view.

Further I found that the default theme was not really appealing to me. However, I’m reading another blog: Snowman on Fire and that theme seemed just right (that blog by the way is a great one, talks about hockey). So I tried to find out how to install and activate another theme for my blog and again, this proved to be an easy task. So I’m using the F2 Theme which has several widgets and it does a great job.

Well, so much for the infrastructure, let’s see to get further thoughts compiled and published on and in this environment.
