To Asha and Sam, my inspiration and support, I dedicate my work on Blosxom and this book.

And, of course, many thanks to my gentle readers and dedicated contributors, without whom this would all be just so much software.

I'd like to thank Laurie Petrycki and Simon St. Laurent for allowing me time off from the Unix Power Tools and Practical RDF books in order to work on the Essential Blogging book.

I'd also like to thank my weblogging virtual neighborhood for making weblogging much more interesting.
