Acknowledgments
Iam extremely grateful to Joe Wikert and Greg Croy, men whom I’ve worked with since the early days of my writing career. It’s like “old home week” when we talk. By giving me the opportunity to write my first title for IDG, they
show a lot of trust for which I’m extremely thankful.
The editor who wins the award for the most patience with my writing and with me is Terri Varveris. Terri, you are the best! Your suggestions are precise and they make the book so much better. Terri, I don’t give you much good to work with but you still turn my words into readable text! In addition, Mildred Sanchez, Sarah Kleinman, and Robert Campbell, all worked together to make this the best possible HTML book on the market.
Mr. Scott Kinney stays busy with his premiere, world-renown news and discussion service Web site, MyRightStart.com, yet he still made time to perform the technical editing for this book. Mr. Kinney is a leader in the Web industry, as well as being the commercial art field’s chief CEO with Kinney Creative, and it’s an honor to have a man of his caliber work on my writing.
Of course, my most gratitude remains with my loving and supportive bride, Jayne. My parents, Glen and Bettye Perry, continue to support my work in every way.
