The Smashing Newsletter
We love useful stuff, and we love quality writing. Every second Tuesday we send out an editorial email newsletter with useful tips, tricks and resources for designers and developers — thoroughly collected, written and edited by us exclusively for our readers. Once subscribed, you’ll receive a small token of appreciation — a free eBook just for you.
Of course, you can cancel your subscription at any time. The Smashing Newsletter will always be free of charge. We respect your privacy; we will never give your data to third parties, nor would we ever spam you. You have our word!
Please keep in mind that we keep the number of ads per issue to a minimum; and to help us cover our costs, we send out at most one monthly special issue which is dedicated to Smashing projects and products. We appreciate your support, and we’ll make sure to keep your subscription worthwhile.
Also note that starting from issue #87, the Smashing Newsletter will be sent out every second Thursday!

June 5th, 2010 4:38 amI am trying to subscribe to your newsletter which was forwarded to me by a friend. You need to “confirm my address by having me click on the link in the email you just sent me”, but that is not clear, and does not seem to work for me. Can you help?
Thank you.
Vitaly Friedman
June 27th, 2010 4:22 amExactly. You should receive an e-mail with a confimation link. Once you clicked on it, your subscription will be confirmed and you will receive the next issue of the newsletter.

November 9th, 2010 2:39 amYay, Subscription Confirmed! :D
Cedric
January 17th, 2011 8:18 amSpeaking of good design, enjoyed the article, but it’s not easy to print. You may want to think of having a print icon at the top and bottom of the article/ print friendly version that doesn’t include the comments. Great work on the content though.

February 16th, 2011 3:51 pmOh, I always thought it’s just another way of receiving your blog articles. Good to know that the newsletter contains exclusive information! :)
Thx!!!

March 3rd, 2011 3:00 ami am a regular visitor of Smashing MAG and i love it like anything. It acts as a supplement to my creative thrust. Although i have zillions of ideas bouncing inside my gray head, most of them are quenched and remaining pondering for something more. So i always want to be in touch with SM…. u ROCK!!!!….

April 6th, 2011 11:56 pmGreat Work Guys but, Please keep the Subscribe option in an easily locatable place. I spent 10 Mins to find it.
Oliver
May 25th, 2011 10:12 amExceptional straight forward subscription process. Also, sharing the .vcf is a great idea to forestall false-positive SPAM. Looking forward to you next issue, thanks!
Joe Fanai
June 22nd, 2011 7:32 pmIts odd that I missed the last two edition, issue 35 and 36. Can you guys check my subscription status. My email is the one i used for this very comment.
Thank you.
Vitaly Friedman
July 4th, 2011 11:06 pmHi Joe,
The status is perfectly fine. Perhaps your mail server marks our emails as “spam”? Could you please double-check it? Please make sure that our newsletters are whitelisted!
Thanks.

December 20th, 2011 10:42 pmStrange for such an excellent site and webdeveloper-oriented bunch of geeks to have such an appalling email-signup process… ever heard of Campaign Monitor, guys?
Just kiddin. I’m quite busy tuning MailChimp myself for some clients and it is a bit daunting to say the least. Didn’t expect to see default stuff coming from Smashing Mag though.
cheers Peter Emil

April 23rd, 2012 9:40 pmThanks for the great magazine! I’ve been reading your articles for a long time. And the Smashing Network has been a great resource too. Where has it gone?
Sleeman
April 25th, 2012 9:38 amDear Smashing Magazine , i can’t find anymore the smashing Network section !!! is it canceled ?
Thanks in advance
John
April 27th, 2012 12:44 pmYou “have” to subscribe to get back into the network, still cant find a way round it.
I am on my work PC, having already subscribed at home, seems like I cannot get into the network without re-subscribing….
The smashing newsletter is great but I do not agree with the, seemingly, forceful way of gaining subscribers.
Werner Swiegers
April 26th, 2012 11:33 amYeah, what happened to the smashing network?
Alex Lopez
August 6th, 2012 8:19 amSubscribed :)
Got your Tweet
Eric
December 7th, 2012 8:51 pmIs there a way to update the emails for the subscription, I want to reroute the old email address and replace it with a new email address. The “cancel your subscription” link is not working today.
Also is there a way get the older newsletters resent mailed, to your re-confirmed new address, just found I missed a few when they changed the work spam filters, I want the complete set in my mailbox. The newsletters are that great.
Vitaly Friedman (editor-in-chief of Smashing Magazine)
December 18th, 2012 3:29 pmThe “cancel your subscription” link is actually working. Could you please try again, Eric? Thanks for your kind words!

January 8th, 2013 11:41 amwow, looking at this list I realise just how many newsletters there have been! I signed up for the very first newsletter and have had them coming to my inbox for more than 2 years. How time flies!
Always looking forward to the next newsletter, good stuff!

May 4th, 2013 8:38 pmI was interested in receiving your newsletter (that I just signed up for) on this kindle fire (which I have not purchased yet) Is that possible? I will definitely not be running a data plan with it. I would just like to download to the kindle and read from there.
I understand I can purchase the ebooks and use them on my kindle – but I am wondering if I can do the same with your newsletter.
Much thanks, Heather
