Author's Acknowledgments

Thank you to everyone I know. Seriously, somehow, you had a part in the final product that is this book.

Particular thanks to my friends and colleagues who shared their expertise and experiences with me for the book:

Many thanks to Acquisitions Editor Amy Fandrei, Project Editor Kim Darosett, and the entire Wiley team for all your work in making this book happen, to Ellen Gerstein for introducing me to Amy at BlogHer '09, and to Yvonne DiVita, for your advice and feedback on the initial proposal. I wouldn't be the author of this book without all of you.

Finally, thank you to my family for your love and support. It means everything.
