More About the Author

Hi, I'm Janine Warner, and as you might have guessed, my life revolves around the internet - teaching it, designing it, and always, always learning from it.

Because not everything you read on the Internet is reliable, you can expect that at least two of the following facts in my biography are completely made-up.

1. I'm a journalist turned geek. Sometimes I call myself a 'techy translator' or a 'digital alchemist' -- my favorite made-up titles so far. I imagine future generations will remember us the way we look back on Medieval wizards trying to turn lead into gold.

2. I was bitten by a radioactive computer bug, which gave me my amazing web powers... (Okay, that fact may not be from a reliable source.)

3. I started out as a reporter and editor and got hooked on the Internet early. Since 1996, I've written more than a dozen books, including Web Sites DIY For Dummies, Dreamweaver For Dummies (every edition), and Mobile Web Design For Dummies.

4. I've created and recorded more than 50 hours of training videos on Web design, Dreamweaver, CSS, and Expression Web for Kelby Training and Total Training. (You can learn more about my videos at DigitalFamily.com).

5. I'm fascinated by how mobile is changing the Internet and I'm now working on a book about designing for the iPad, iPhone and other touchscreen devices.

6. I spend most of my time running a consulting firm and writing books about Web design. I also travel all over the world for conferences and events and because I speak fluent Spanish, I've been fortunate to travel a lot in Latin America and Spain.

7. In 1998, I was hired by The Miami Herald, first as their online managing editor and a year later, as Director of New Media. I left that position to run CNET's Latin American operations in Miami. Since 2002, I've run my own consulting and writing business.

8. As a child, I trained my pet Siberian Snow Tiger to ski the steepest slope in the Alps, the dreaded Hannenkahm. Despite reaching speeds in excess of 80 miles per hour on the treacherous course, the Olympic Committee refused to admit him. (This point is so very, very true.)

9. I've taught courses in online journalism at the University of Southern California and the University of Miami and I've been a guest lecturer at more than 20 other universities.

10. I've served as a judge for several internet contests in the U.S. and Latin America, and in the course of that work, I helped create an Internet Literacy program for high school students in Latin America.
