The Missing Credits
About the Author
Matthew MacDonald is a science and technology writer with well over a dozen books to his name. Web novices can tiptoe out onto the Internet with him in Creating a Website: The Missing Manual. Office geeks can crunch the numbers in Excel 2010: The Missing Manual. And human beings of all description can discover just how strange they really are in the quirky handbooks Your Brain: The Missing Manual and Your Body: The Missing Manual.

Acknowledgments
No author could complete a book without a small army of helpful individuals. I’m deeply indebted to the whole Missing Manual team, especially my editor, Nan Barber, who never seemed fazed by the shifting sands of HTML5; and expert tech reviewers Shelley Powers and Steve Suehring, who helped spot rogue errors and offered consistently good advice. And, as always, I’m also deeply indebted to numerous others who’ve toiled behind the scenes indexing pages, drawing figures, and proofreading the final copy.
Finally, for the parts of my life that exist outside this book, I’d like to thank all my family members. They include my parents, Nora and Paul; my extended parents, Razia and Hamid; my wife Faria; and my daughters, Maya and Brenna. Thanks, everyone!
—Matthew MacDonald
The Missing Manual Series
Missing Manuals are witty, superbly written guides to computer products that don’t come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each book features a handcrafted index; cross-references to specific pages (not just chapters); and Rep-Kover, a detached-spine binding that lets the book lie perfectly flat without the assistance of weights or cinder blocks.
