Authors' Acknowledgments

Susannah: As with every book I have worked on, I find it unfair that my name is on the cover when so many people played such an important role in getting this book finished.

My husband and business partner, Travis Smith, deserves a huge portion of my thanks. Without his help in keeping our home and company running smoothly, I would have lost much more sleep than I did writing this book. His help late at night when I couldn't decide how to explain a technology or just to give me a little extra encouragement is noted, appreciated, and loved.

Thanks are also due to Shane Birley, a good friend, who is my co‐author on this book. He met deadlines, turned in screenshots, and was generally so on top of the process that he put me to shame at times! I look forward to working on more writing projects with him in the future. Thanks are due also to Shane's life and business partner Allyson McGrane, who kept him fed and functioning during deadlines.

As always, special thanks go to Janine Warner, For Dummies author extraordinaire, who invited me to co‐author Dreamweaver MX 2004 For Dummies with her and started me down this road. Her recent books — Dreamweaver CS3 For Dummies and Creating Family Web Sites For Dummies are great resources.

This book would never have been possible without the patience and good humor of Rebecca Senninger, my editor, and acquisitions editors Melody Layne and Tiffany Ma at Wiley. There are many at Wiley Publishing whose names I don't know but who nonetheless played an important role in making this book possible: Thank you to all of you.

Paul Chaney, Internet marketing director at Bizzuka, Inc., took time from his busy schedule to be the technical editor for this book. You can blame any errors in the how to instructions on him. Just kidding! Paul's attention to detail has prevented more errors than I can count.

Friends, family, colleagues and clients all cut me some slack while I was meeting deadlines for this book. Thanks go to Matt Gardner, my parents and sister, my mother‐in‐law Pat Smith, and my sister‐in‐law Virginia Smith, all of whom got to witness a little stress‐induced behavior.

And thank you, reader, for giving me your time and attention. I hope this book is everything you need it to be.

Shane: Thanks to Susannah for giving me the opportunity to collaborate with her on this book. It was an amazing experience and one I hope to repeat.

I appreciate the love and support of my friends and family. I especially want to thank Ken Driediger who keeps me focused and on track when stress gets the better of me and to A. Traviss Corry of The New Wrinkle video podcast who reminds me that once in a while fun and silly behavior just must be had. Thanks also to Scott Petersen, Anita Bleick, Nicole Morisette, Travis Smith, David Kelch, Aaron Mok, Sue McCarthy, Robin Thompson, Jennifer Chin, Gillian Gunson, and to my mother — who bought me my first TRS‐80 computer, when I really wanted a Coleco video game console.

And most of all, thank you to my partner Allyson. She was very supportive in helping to proofread, listening to me report on all the latest blog technologies, and most of all walking our pug Serendipity when I was focused on getting the next paragraph just right.
