I’ve just completed some major updates to my Little Book of Elements CMS, which now clocks in at over 140 pages when printed.

While the book is no longer free—thanks to all that previewed it and had suggestions—it has been considerably expanded. Besides a lot of clarifications and expansions, I’ve now added chapters on how to use the CMS to make tables, how to build an HTML Component that will display most recent posts, updated the chapter on Using the CMS for Articles, expanded the FAQ section, and even added a cover to the book.

The book is now US$19.95 and available at Little Book of Elements CMS. @Dan and I have been discussing adding it to the Elements Store when it opens to developers. Moreover, I’ve now begun another book, Getting Started with Elements that tries to take you from Elements virgin to maestro. No time frame on that, as I’ve got a lot on my plate at the moment, but it’s in progress.

Tried to purchase, but it says it is out of stock.

No purchase possible. Did you try to purchase one yourself?

4

Doh! Accidentally hit the 0 stock checkbox. It should be okay now.

5

Perfect - instant purchase :slight_smile:

Hi Thom,

I completed the purchase and received two emails, but neither one has a link to a download file.

7

I’ve sent you a private email with the links. For some reason, the AWS server is glitchy today.

Hi Thom,

I haven’t received a private email with links. I checked my junk mail folder and nothing there.

@thominator Congrats on the re-launch of the book. It’s awesome to see your continued support for Elements :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Wouldn’t it be good if the soon to be launched Elements Store supported eBooks :wink:

Instant buy @thominator
Great work :+1:. I have some ideas for a more complex theme and your book will help me in realising it.

Then it’s possible that the email address you entered when ordering isn’t correct. Please send your email address to me privately.

Hi Thom,

I think I sent you a private message with my email. If you didn’t get it let me know.

15

I just sent you the book again. However, the email address you supplied is the same as the one I sent it to last time.

16

Thanks Thom, that one came thru.

I’ll likely purchase once it appears in elements store.

I just wanted to hop on and say that I purchased this book this morning and it’s been a brilliant help. Written in a way that is easy to understand - although page 59 did have me reaching for extra caffeine!! I have built my blog template and am happy. Just need to write some content for it! I would definitely recommend if you are baffled about the whole CMS/blog setup.

@thominator what version is this? I have version 1.01, do I have to buy it again?

Current version is 1.04, and the first for which I officially charge money for.
