A number of people contributed to the success of this book, and it would take more space than I have to thank each one individually.

Thank you to the entire Packt Publishing team for working so diligently to help me develop such a high quality product of which we can all be proud of.

For my friend of roughly 20 years, Michelle Yaiser: Thank you for believing in me through thick and thin.

Web developer Paul Ramos and I complete each other's sentences. Thank you for being there, brother.

Roxane Velozo is the Robin to my Batman. Thanks for being the best professional sidekick a superhero could ever have.

For Jeffrey Zeldman, Cameron Moll, and Dan Cederholm: I could never hope for a better trio of professional role models. Thank you, gentlemen.

Experienced in multiple CMS platforms including Expression Engine, Plone, WordPress, PostNuke, and Google's Blogger, she has maintained, explored, and used most of them on a day-to-day basis. She spends her spare time as the leader of a local scout troop, taking long hikes with her family in the beautiful North Georgia woods, trying to taste test every variety of chocolate that exists, and playing with code and pixels. Design topics or whatever she can think of at the time are posted on her blog at http://leejordan.net.

Lee has written three previous books with Packt Publishing: Project Management for dotProject, WordPress Themes 2.8 , and Blogger: Beyond the Basics .

I couldn't do this without the support of my family, but it is one special person's time to shine Jason keep trying and don't give up. Sometimes all we need is practice and the will to keep moving forward.
