Hi Lohia

I am not sure if there are any books solely devoted to blogging.

However, the one I read last year that got me started was Hot text - Web Writing that works This has a section devoted to blogging.

I would still recommend the whole book if you are writing anything on the web.

The best information on Blogging (like anything web related) can be found directly on the web, and a great place to start looking is right on this forum. Your thought is a nice one, but you might find it a hard order to fill.

I do trust Deb's recommendations though, so I'd check that book out.

You might also consider a different approach-- a gift certificate for software that the person can use for whatever he/she needs (a good thesaurus program, for instance.)

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for sharing that book with us. I will surely have a look at that book.

Actually my friend blogs on topics related topics so therefore I though gifting him a book on blogging would be a great help.
