Issue 180

My inbox tells me that everyone is back to work after the holidays! There have also been some nice articles and posts relevant to the interests of readers of this newsletter to round up.

While I am enjoying being at home for a while I have a few workshops coming up which might be of interest depending on your location - Rustbelt Refresh in Cleveland, and for Smashing Conference in San Francisco and Toronto. I have been wondering about running one in my home town of Bristol in the UK. If that is something you might be interested in reply to this email - I can certainly find a location and date if I know there is interest!

If getting to an in-person workshop is not possible then do check out my CSS Layout Workshop.
