Summer looks good for light reading on weblogging.

The Weblog Handbook: Practical Advice on Creating and Maintaining Your Blog by Rebecca Blood. What's In Rebecca's Pocket? is her blog and its on my regular reading list. I haven't read it yet, but Handbook may wind up as a bulk purchase, giving out copies to friends and family for the holidays, and passing them around at work. At 144 pages, it is slim, hallmark of something people will read!

We've Got Blog: How Weblogs are Changing Our Culture by some editors with an intro by Rebecca Blood. Sociology, speculation, mediacrit. Should be good for a laugh. 

Blogging: Genius Strategies for Instant Web Content by Biz Stone. The book's home page and Stone's blog. 

We Blog: Publishing Online with Weblogs
