She has also developed online training programs for the Western Knight Center, a joint project of USC and UC Berkeley funded by the Knight Foundation. Janine has extensive Internet experience working on large and small Web sites. From 1994 to 1998, she ran Visiontec Communications, a Web design business in Northern California, where she worked for a diverse group of clients including Levi Strauss & Co., AirTouch International, Beth’s Desserts, and many other small and medium-size businesses. In 1998, she joined The Miami Heraldas their Online Managing Editor. A year later, she was pro- moted to Director of New Media and managed a team of designers, programmers, journalists, and marketing staff who produced the Web sites for The Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald, and Miami.com. She left that position to serve as Director of Latin American Operations for CNET Networks, an international technology media company. She was a founding member of the Miami Internet Alliance and the South Florida chapter of WITI, and she served as a judge for the Arroba de Oro Latin American Internet awards from 2001 to 2005.

I dedicate this book to everyone who aspires to share their ideas, stories, photos, business products and services on the Internet, but is afraid it may be too hard to do themselves. You can do this: Youcan create your own Web site, and in this book you’ll find everything you need to create, design, publish, and promote your own Web site. I wish you all the best with your Web sites!
