So I am supposed to be on vacation, sitting here in Kauai enjoying a Mai Tai and the warm sun and surf… but I can’t help but crawl online (DSL here seems to top out at 2400bps) to post about a very special day for Digital Web Magazine. Long time readers will know today is digital-web.com’s 12th birthday.

Way back in 1996 we registered the domain and over the years it took shape to become the online magazine you see today. In 1999, just 3 years after registering the domain, we had our first issue published. Since then we have published more articles than I can count under more topics than I could imagine thanks to the help of more contributors than I could have dreamed of. But most of all, I owe a big thanks to a staff who has volunteered their time and energy week after week to make sure we have a new issue to publish. I can never thank you enough!

I owe a bit of thanks to our editors Frances Berriman, Laurie Rauch, Nicole Ramsey, William Hicks, and a special thanks to Jessica Neuman Beck for keeping everyone in line.

I also owe a big thank you to Walker Hamilton whose technical skills keeps us afloat, and to Tiff Fehr for painstakingly producing every issue, and most of all to Matthew Pennell for taking the helm and making sure we are on course and steaming along every week. Thanks for all your help! Readers, please show your appreciation by commenting on this post to thank the staff for all their hard work, Digital Web Magazine wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for them!
