Win a Copy of "Digging into WordPress 3.1" from Techinch and AppSumo

When you need to publish anything on the web, WordPress is just about the best solution for building your site. WordPress may have started out as just a standard blog publishing engine, but today, it’s powerful enough to let you create everything from complex real estate sites to an online eBook. Best of all, it’s still simple enough to let you make cute and easy to update Tumblr style blogs.

There’s only one problem: How are you going to figure out how to do all of this on your own? Sure, you could purchase a theme and some plugins, but if you don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, you’ll have a much harder time customizing it to your needs. That’s where the excellent Digging into WordPress eBook comes in. This eBook takes you through everything you’ll need to know to understand the basics of building WordPress themes and plugins, and customizing the core software. It’ll even help you learn how to make your site more secure, and more that we covered in our review last year. The latest edition that was just released even covers the latest features of WordPress 3.1, including custom post formats and more.

Now, you can get it for free … or cheaper!
