Poor
Richard's Good Advice
With all great new things comes a proliferation of hucksters and
snake-oil salesmen, and the Internet is no exception. The antidote to
this swirl of confusion lies in Peter Kent's Poor Richard's Web
Site. The analogy to Ben Franklin's volume is appropriate: the book is
filled with the kind of straightforward information the Founding Father himself
would have appreciated.

I’ve found a great
book that explains it all: Poor Richard’s Web Site. … This is a
practical, no-nonsense guide that lucidly covers topics like how to
set up a domain with the InterNIC, how to promote your Web site and
how to actually use all those features that hosting services provide.

We liked the level
of rich, high-quality details that went into this publication. You can
tell that Kent has poured all of his creative energies into the
project. Yet he remained focused enough throughout the book to clearly
define in plain English all of the technical information required to
create and maintain a Web site. ... We highly recommend this book.

Covering all the
basics in jargon-free English, he considers what you need to start,
where to put your Web site, finding a host, how to pick and register a
domain name, creating a site, choosing an editor, adding interaction
and taking orders online, distribution lists, and registering your Web
site. Very well written.

... an encyclopedic
treatment of every aspect—technical, financial, moral and social—of
building and maintaining a Web site. It packs more sound advice
into a slender 424 pages than far bulkier and expensively-promoted
books. Author Peter Kent writes with vivacity and real expository
skill. In his hands, technical subjects such as email forwarding and
host selection become compelling reading.
