Well, in lieu of writing credit, I use myself/husband/friends whenever
possible in screen shots. My non-geek type friends get a real kick out
of seeing their name in print as an "example". (Of course, I have their

It's not quite the same as credit, but it does make it easier to
recognize your involvement in the manual.
