EDITORIAL INTRO FOR ISSUE 199
“We decided to enter a panel submission, and – knock us down with a pipe cleaner – they accepted it”
By the time this issue hits the streets, the world’s biggest interactive festival, SXSW, will be a mere month away. When we attended the event last year we were blown away by the talent, enthusiasm and friendliness of the attendees.
With this in mind, we wanted to make even more of SXSW this year, so we decided to enter a panel submission, and – knock us down with a pipe cleaner – they only went and accepted it. So, on Saturday 13 March, if any of you are lucky enough to be in Austin, Texas we’d love to see you there!
Our panel is ‘Is WordPress killing web design?’, where we plan to discuss the effects of CMS tools, not just WordPress (we just loved that title!).
You can find out more about our panel and speakers here. Oh, and if you think we’re down on WordPress, you might want to take a look at this month’s cover feature – it’s a corker.
