Originally from a West Virginia farm, Shelly's formal training is actually as a pastry chef. She graduated from the New England Culinary Institute in 1999, and proceeded to work in the food service industry for several years. It doesn't seem to be a natural progression to web design and coding, but Shelly's mother was big into computers and built several of her own throughout the years.

Shelly began her web design business as a hobby, one that took over her passion for design. She started her first business in 2001 - while still working in a restaurant (who turned into her first client) and it has been growing ever since. Her love of web standards, CSS, PHP and blogging tools of all kinds has brought her to where she is today: helping those who share her passion for dynamic content served up on a big, shiny platter of web standards goodness. (Please pass the XHTML!)

And don't worry - Shelly can still make a kick-butt souffle to impress the in-laws, and her husband's waistline isn't getting any smaller!

Ever learning and progressing, Shelly has dedicated her business to creating wonderful, standards-compliant websites to bloggers (and businesses wanting to use these dynamic tools for content management) around the world, because how things look affect the palate of the beholder.

As co-founder of the Podcast Asylum, Author-izer Sallie Goetsch (rhymes with sketch) writes and speaks about podcasting from the listener's perspective.

She started "smoking the podcast dope" in April 2005 and immediately contracted a bad case of earbud isolationism, using podcasting to make connections and attract prospects from around the world without recording her own podcast. She works tirelessly to cure the epidemic of podcastus ignoramus through public presentations and private consultations.

A natural-born pedant, Sallie Goetsch translated Greek and Roman drama for the stage and taught in the School of Theatre Studies at the University of Warwick in England before returning to the United States to start her own business turning busy professionals into authors.

Heather Gorringe is the founder and Managing Director of a UK based eco-gardening company - Wiggly Wigglers ( www.wigglywigglers.co.uk ). She has built the business from an idea to a 2.5 million turnover which now employs 16 staff . The company holds two national business titles including "Small Business Champion for the UK". Based on a farm in rural Herefordshire England, the location inspired an online presence and e-commerce site which has built direct sales and communication with its database of over 100k individual customers for the past 12 years.

In June 2005 Heather listened to her first ever podcast, she was completely inspired by the new medium. Along with her web designer she attended Podcastcon in London on a Saturday in September, and by the Wednesday the Company had produced its first podcast. Heather is no geek (for sure!) and decided to outsource the technical aspect to the designer who has worked with Wiggly Wigglers for many years. However, 76 episodes later the podcast has enabled the company to build a global fanbase, increase sales, gain pr, and dramatically reduce the advertising spend.
