Greetings and Salutations

As this is the opening post to my company blog I imagine it is best to begin by introducing myself.

My name is Mark Shellenberger and I am a 'Markup Guy'. What does that mean to you? Well, as the reader of this blog it means that the majority of the posts here will be centered around the XML world. That means I will:

• Discuss an interesting thread on one of the major XML-technology listservs
• Post a technique that I used to solve a problem
• Link to interesting uses of XML
• Semi-live blog any XML conferences I attend
• Link to other blogged XML conferences
• Discuss the business of being a business

What you won't see here is World of Warcraft techniques, political rants, questionable humor, vacation photos, or sports rants. You can check out any of the previous links for my friends' blogs on those topics.

I'll do a mini-bio post soon but in the meantime see my company's website; Manorfield Consulting, LLC. And, if you happen to need XSLT, XQuery, XSL-FO, or any type of XML work, please get in touch with me through my contacts there.
