Acknowledgements

I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to the numerous people who have; in various ways, contributed to the gestation and birth of what may grow into a 'lusty' creation of benefit to all.

First and foremost, to Denise Higgins who has been the general site editor. She has offered invaluable assistance and guidance on all things 'ITish', for introducing me to the wonders of internet publishing and the ways in which it allows information to be assembled and manipulated. Through ongoing conversations she has assisted with development, structuring and usability of the site, and the evolution of content. She has also managed site design and offered ongoing editorial assistance.

To my daughter Jenny Brake the  illustrations editor for the great job she has done with site graphics and image formatting.

To my daughter Maureen Anderson  glass artist and my partner in Riley Glass Kilns, whose exploration into kilnforming presented a continuous stream of  interesting problems needing solution.

To Bronwyn Hughes Liz Coleman and Stan Hawksworth for initial encouragement, for interesting debate and for their tedious editing of scripts.

To the people who have user tested the site and provided feedback, as well as to others too numerous to mention individually who have answered my questions and offered advice. Sincere thanks to all. 

To the staff at Mooball IT for their assistance to Denise in concealing from me most of the frightfully confusing business of Internet publishing and undoubtedly saving me from mental exhaustion.

To the many purchasers of Riley Glass kilns who have offered me not only a business opportunity but also warm friendship. I have enjoyed knowing you all.

Thanks folks.
