Smashing Magazine - we smash you with the information that will make your life easier. really.
Get Out The Balloons: Smashing’s 1st Anniversary
Smashing Magazine is one year old. Over the last year our little weblog has gone through quite a development. We’ve published 126 articles, trying to address the most important issues, trends and developments related to web design and web-development. We’ve heard a lot of criticism, but we’ve also received a lot of support. In fact, there is nothing more valuable than constructive criticism which is basically the only thing which makes our content better, our magazine more useful and our efforts more convenient. Therefore we’d like to thank to all readers who’ve been reading us, sharing their ideas and suggestions, spreading the word and supporting us. Every e-mail you’ve sent to us has an incredible value for us.
Thank you! Now it’s time for you to get something back.
[Offtopic: by the way, do you know the Smashing Network has its own Smashing Network RSS Feed? Only excerpts are displayed in the feed.]
What has changed since then?
Over the year we’ve developed our layout, made some important changes to improve the site structure and the quality of content. Our articles have become more structured, our research more profound. However, the main idea behind Smashing Magazine has never changed.
The degree of utility defines the nature of our content. We try to deliver the best possible information about a given topic and present it in the most comprehensive and usable way. Whether we succeed in doing so or not is not our decision, but the decision you are making with every post we publish. We’ll do our best to deliver quality material on regular basis. To do this, we need your support and your input.
We try to smash you with the information that will make your life easier — this is what we’ve been doing for the last 12 months, this is what we’ll do in future to meet your expectations. And this is what we’re going to do this week.
Celebrate with us!
Turn on the music, break out the champagne, get out the balloons and whistles, but — more importantly — keep track on what will be happening this week on Smashing Magazine.
World’s leading designers, developers and graphic designers will be celebrating with us. We’ll also have some giveaways for each and every one of you.
- Make sure you don’t miss this week’s postings — subscribe to our RSS-feed to keep track on our next posts.
Be prepared. This week we’re going to smash you big time. Really.
Vitaly Friedman, editor-in-chief of Smashing Magazine (www.smashingmagazine.com), an online magazine dedicated to designers and developers.
