WordPress Business Blog Standard Guidebook in Japan
My first book, WordPress Standard Guidebook, has been a success since it was published in September 2006. It’s maintaining steady sales even with current 4th edition.
So my editor contacted last summer offering me to write another book – this time, the subject was up to me, he said. Instead of going into the same direction as last time (instructional/tutorial), I wanted to write a practical guide on how to plan, build, and run blogs for businesses.
The new book is scheduled to be published at the end of this month in Japan.

I appreciate the whole WordPress community, WordPress Japan, fellow members of Japanese Localization Team, and people I had the pleasure to work with building WordPress blogs – especially those at my previous employer. Without learning from/with them I could never have written this book. Thank you.

nce again congratulations on the new book. I hope to read it one day in English, or maybe one of these days I’ll learn Japanese. Good to see you wrote about role manager and the google sitemap plugins – I find those 2 invaluable for building any CMS-type WP sites.
Thanks Jim
I’m also loving WP-Cache lately… much better than what it used to be (or similar plugin I tried before). Give it a try if you haven’t.
Congratulations for success book. Your next book will great for business blog reference.
