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.

Here’s the cover!

More information about the book is due on the Smashing WordPress 3rd Edition book page any day now! You don’t want to miss this one

Singapore

It is always nice when I get sent emails or tweets about where my books have been spotted. This photo (click for full-size image), which features both the first and second edition of Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog (the third edition is on its way!) as well as Tackling Tumblr, was sent to me by Ripperdoc who spotted these books in a book store in Singapore. Thanks!

I’ll get back to you with more on this book, along with the cover and a table of contents, some PR talk and stuff like that. For now all I can tell you is that it is a fairly substantial update to the second edition, fully updated to the 3.3 branch of WordPress. I’m pretty happy with it, especially some new examples and ideas to get your minds spinning.

Look for more later. For now, I’ll just sit back and relax, feeling bloody happy of yet another manuscript delivered.

I’m still waiting for the cover and stuff like that, so the Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog, 2nd Edition book page is still pretty raw.

Pre-order links and more when I get it.

Obviously I’m thrilled about having had the opportunity to revise and update the highly popular first edition of Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog. The second edition is fully WordPress 3.1 compliant and includes new examples, revised code, and whatnot. I hope you’ll like it.

Speaking of which, I’m surprised to see that Beyond the Blog continues to sell well over 500 copies monthly. The book is over a year old and the second edition is due in April, so I urge you to pick up Smashing WordPress Themes instead, or hold off until the Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog, 2nd Edition in April. More on that one here.

These numbers are far from final, you never know how many books you’ve sold until well the year after the book launch. Needless to say, I’m pretty happy with the sales of my debut book, and the follow-up (Smashing WordPress Themes) is off to a good start.

Here’s hoping my third (fourth if you count the upcoming 2nd Edition of Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog) book will do just as well. As soon as I know when it’s out and stuff like that I’ll share more on that, details are a bit hazy on what I’m supposed to be allowed to say at this point.
