Two minor updates

I’ve made two minor updates on the site today.

  1. The Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog, 3rd Edition page is updated with some more information, and a pre-order link.
  2. The store page got the pre-order link for the book too. No Kindle edition available there yet.

I also updated my Amazon author page with a new cover photo and the @tdh Twitter account.

In the not so distant future you’ll see a lot of changes here on TDH.me, as well as a somewhat steady stream of released content that I’ve neglected. Mostly WordPress themes, but there are some fiction that I’ll probably publish here as well.

Quick notes on the new Kindles

Amazon finally unveiled its tablet, and it is not an iPad competitor. That doesn’t mean it will fail, on the contrary – I think the $199 Kindle Fire will sell like crazy because there is a market for a cheaper device. At least in the US where Amazon’s various content services are things people actually can swear by, how the company intends to conquer the rest of the world I have no idea, it isn’t happening yet that’s for sure.

Since I’m in the publishing business, writing books and whatnot, I figured I’d share my thoughts on the new Kindles. Continued →

Smashing WordPress Themes on bookshelves this month

There’s been some concern about the release date of my upcoming book, Smashing WordPress Themes: Making WordPress Beautiful, since some online retailers (I’m looking at you, Amazon) have been reporting March launch dates. This is entirely inaccurate and is due to some technical glitch between the publisher’s systems and Amazon’s.

Smashing WordPress Themes: Making WordPress Beautiful is due January 24th in the US, and a few weeks later in the UK. If you live in Europe, but not in the UK, then the book might very well reach you prior to the UK release, at least that was the case with Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog.

You can pre-order Smashing WordPress Themes: Making WordPress Beautiful from Amazon here.

Great news for Kindle owners and WordPress lovers alike! My book, Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog, is now available for Kindle as well. Check it out if you prefer to read it that way, link from the Amazon page of course.

The first reviews of my book Smashing WordPress: Behond the Blog are starting to pop up online. This one on Amazon is particularly appealing.

I already tweeted this, but I wanted to share it here also. There will be a Amazon Kindle version of my book Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog. Got it confirmed this morning, and I’m really happy about that.
