Wow, wow, wow, I just downloaded your new book and it has to be the best WP training manual that I have ever seen. I love the fresh approach& images/icons that you have used and throughout the manual. You have done the one thing that 99% of all WordPress trainers forget to tell you, and that’s security and how to protect the important files in your robots.txt and .htaccess. [...] Thanks so much for creating such a great WordPress userguide and bible of the best content. — Karen

Just had to say: I love the design of wp-tao.com: great color scheme, nice textures and background images, super-clear typography, refreshing design! — Andy MacLeod
The BEST thing about The Tao of WordPress, Digging onto WordPress, and .htaccess Made Easy, is the free upgrades to the most recent version as the books are updated over-time. That’s the best value for the price of admission, since WordPress and .htaccess hacks are always evolving [...] — Steve Wharton

I have been developing Web sites and applications since 1996, and have developed many dozens of sites and applications using many different development tools and a variety of server platforms. Jeff’s WordPress books from Perishable Press (WP-Rao.com) have been quite instrumental in bringing me and my team quickly up to speed in all the details and intricacies of the WordPress platform and its components; WordPress being so vital right now in creating an effective Internet presence. Anyone of any experience level would be very well served to get and use any and all of Jeff’s books to learn everything needed to develop, design, deploy, and maintain a professional level WordPress site. Ron Connelly
