Issue #39

December 27, 2012

Dear friends, I hope you’re enjoying your holidays and that you’re recharging your batteries for the challenges New Year has in store for you. I, for one, surely am.

This is the last issue for this year. From humble beginnings in March, the newsletter grew to more than 3000 subscribers. I love each and every one of you and I immensely appreciate your trust and support.

I will dedicate even more of my time to CSS Weekly in 2013, and I already have a couple of changes and improvements planned. But more on that later.
