Covers the bases. Excellent:
I am relatively new to blogging but have spent time and money looking to offer some quality blogs.

Excellent resource:
for people who want to start a blog. Has good detailed information for someone with more technical skills, but easy to read for those with less technical knowledge. Definitely worth the price.
