Thanks from Maria

To Miraz, for bringing her vast knowledge of WordPress to this project and answering the seemingly stupid questions I managed to come up with regularly.

To Nancy Davis and Tracy O'Connell, for putting up with lengthy delays and uncertain futures, not to mention the usual wait, wait, hurry situations that have characterized many of my projects these days. (I'm getting old, but am determined to reach my goal of 100 books before burnout causes brain death.)

To David Van Ness, for his usual upbeat, can-do attitude and production assistance.

To Julie Bess for another index, quickly and expertly prepared.

To the Camden Lady, for allowing us to show off her blog as a sample in the Introduction of this book.

To the WordPress development team, the plugin authors, the support volunteers, and open source programmers everywhere, for making WordPress and other free software available and easy to use.

And to Mike, for the usual reasons.
