Acknowledgements

First, a flourishing tip of the hat to Matt Mullenweg and the entire Automattic team for giving us the wonder that is WordPress.

Chris Pearson and the crew at DIYThemes deserve a huge round of applause for the Thesis Theme for WordPress. You lot make it look like I know how to write CSS and php!

However, even with Thesis, I'd never have made the site look half as good without the fantastic, step-by-step tutorials by a wonderful Aussie lady,Amelia Briscoe at Thesis Video Tutorials. Couldn't have done it without you!

Finally (saving the best for last), the Aerie would still be gathering dust if not for the occasional poke from my dear friend, Tami Moore. Her good-natured wheedling culminated in an offer to host a guest article from me, and was the spark that reignited my blogging fires. Even embiggened virtual hugs aren't enough to express what Tami's friendship means to me.
