I’ve been thinking about investing in some books that will help me build my blog – photography skills, HTML, WordPress development, etc. Throughout my studies in journalism/media and the beginnings of my career in marketing, I’ve already accumulated some helpful material, however, everything develops so quickly that I think I’m due an upgrade. Here’s an overview of what I already own…
The journalism books

And, of course, the updated Writer’s Handbook for 2015.
Have you learned anything from any of these books? Or have you discovered something else that you found helpful?
Personally I find there is a lot to be learnt from other blogs, whether you simply get ideas from other blogs on similar topics or read blogs about blogging!
