about the author

HowTo: WordPress 3 is written by Ric Shreves. If that name sounds familiar, it might be because you own one of his other books. He’s written 8 books in the last 6 years, most about open source content management systems, including WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal and Mambo. Ric’s the author of the Joomla! Bible, the Drupal 7 Bible (with Brice Dunwoodie) and the WordPress 3 Cookbook (with Jean-Baptiste Jung). He was also a columnist for ComputerWorld and has been writing about tech — and building websites — for more than 10 years.
