These popouts and asides provide you with further context, insider information, and many more awesome techniques to improve your WordPress-powered site.

Beautiful Custom Design

Design-wise, Digging into WordPress is a beautiful book. For printed versions of the book, every page is printed with stunning digital-color precision on gloss-finish paper. Both printed books and e-books feature 12 color-coded chapters for quick and easy navigation. With its large, clear typography, each page is easy on the eyes and easy to read.

PDF Version

1. Hyperlinked. All the many URL’s in the book you can just click to go to the web page referenced. There is also internal linking – you can click links in the table of contents to jump to those sections.
2. Copy & Paste code. Much easier to grab code via copy & paste than retyping from scratch. Of course the page numbers in the book and PDF match, so if you are reading the book you can jump over to the PDF and go to that page to copy and paste. You’ll always know exactly where that code is.
3. Search. The book has an appendix, but that’s never quite as good as just using your PDF readers search feature to find what you are looking for.
