More About the Author

I have authored several books, focusing on two very different aspects of my life and professional focus. On the faith front, I am author of "The Expeditionary Man", "The Myth of Happiness", and several "For Dummies" books designed to make meaty truth easily approachable for postmodern readers. These books include "C.S. Lewis & Narnia For Dummies", "Christianity For Dummies", and "Christian Prayer For Dummies".

On the technology front, I have authored several web tech books as well, such as "Adobe AIR For Dummies", "XSLT For Dummies" and "Building Facebook Applications For Dummies".

I work as Senior Developer for Maark, a strategic and interactive B2B marketing firm in Boston. Previously, I was V.P. of Product Development at NetObjects, an Internet software company, as well as inventor/architect of NetObjects ScriptBuilder.

I graduated from Taylor University and pursued graduate studies at American University. Though a native Hoosier, I now live in Princeton, Massachusetts with my wife and three boys.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a great book., June 22, 2006

This review is from: Yahoo! SiteBuilder For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)

I would not recommend this book. It was really not helpful for us. We currently have a yahoo store with over 6000+ items and this book is really geared for stores with 50 or less items. The attached software was not useful. However, I would recommend another book: "Starting a Yahoo! Business For Dummies", by Richard Snell. The Snell book is much more useful and full of informative advance stuff for starting and improving your Yahoo store. David Mark, Cmdstore

I needed to set up a web site faster than it was going to take me to learn Dreamweaver. Yahoo! SiteBuilder for Dummies successfully walked me through the process of setting up a site at Yahoo! in less than half a days time. It's well written, clear and broken down into distinct components so you can go directly to the material you need without wading through all sorts of stuff that's not relevant to you.

It did the trick for me, I hope it does for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference For a Lackluster Application, November 11, 2005

This review is from: Yahoo! SiteBuilder For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)

The is reference was very helpful and covers nearly 100% of sitebuilders tools and topics. I found it to be of great help in the use of Sitebuilder. What is lacking in this book is it fails to advise the serious to minor 'bugs' within Sitebuilder 2.2.3 and the almost total lack of support and response from the Yahoo/Sitebuilder team.
