Errata
- 2 submitted: last submission 10 Sep 2012Errata type: Technical | Page number: 48
In chapter 3, page 48, the reader should pick the 'Default Field Group' (or should leave 'Edit Group Preferences' set to no). You do not need to create the 'toastwebsite' field group as that happens later in the book (chapter 4).
Errata type: Typo | Page number: 91
"Writng an About Us Page" should read "Writing . . ."
(This typo is also carried over into the book's TOC, on page ii).
