Issue #48

February 28, 2013

Dear friend,

as of now you can officially buy an ad spot in CSS Weekly. I’m aware that this won’t be the most popular decision, but it needed to be done. All ads will, of course, be relevant and at least indirectly related to CSS, so you can rest assured that the newsletter will not be bloated.

As far as last week’s giveaway is concerned, CSS Hat licences go to …[dramatic pause]… Tobias Tune and Ahmad Alfy, because they said the nicest things about CSS Hat. Congratulations, you’ll hear from us soon. All of you who weren’t so lucky, thanks for participating and better luck next time.
