About the Author

Thord Daniel Hedengren is addicted to words. He has written two web publishing books prior to this one: Smashing WordPress (now in its second edition) and Smashing WordPress Themes, both covering WordPress. Thord runs a web agency called Odd Alice in Stockholm, Sweden, and is a frequent freelancer and occasional editor for various publishing houses. He still thinks content is king, which either makes him an utter moron or just proves his genius. Online you'll often find him under the moniker TDH. You can catch all his antics through http://tdh.me , where you'll also find the necessary means to stalk him across the social web. Don't worry, he likes that stuff.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to all of you who are using the Web to publish your content. Your words, your thoughts, and your opinions are just as important as the next guy's. We live in a wonderful time when everyone can be heard, so use your voice and speak your mind. It is imperative.
