About the Author

Jennifer Niederst Robbins was one of the first web designers. As the designer of O'Reilly's Global Network Navigator (GNN), the first commercial web site, she has been designing for the Web since mid-1993. Soon thereafter, she became Creative Director of Songline Studios (a subsidiary of O'Reilly) and went on to form her own design and consulting company, Littlechair, Inc., in 1996. In addition to this Nutshell book, Jennifer writes and maintains Learning Web Design and (X)HTML Pocket Reference, both published by O'Reilly Media. She has taught courses on web design at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, MA, and at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI. She has been a regular on the speaker circuit, presenting at South by Southwest Interactive, AIGA events, Seybold Seminars, and the GRAFILL conference in Norway. Jennifer combines her passions for cooking, indie rock music, and making stuff in her project, The Jenville Show (a.k.a. "Cooking with Rockstars") available at www.thejenvilleshow.com. Her latest production is a son named Arlo, who doesn't leave her much time for all of the above. You can visit Jennifer online at littlechair.com and jenville.com.
