For over the years I have read and enjoyed the articles and posts from Smashing Magazine. They have helped me in contrasting and getting to the bottom of a lot of things. I have benefited from the excellent viewpoints, free fonts, free themes that they made available from time to time. As always, as I was reading the daily post, and I read the following and I wanted to help as well.

What happened here today, on the Smashing Magazine’s website? Well, here is the thing: we need your help. Only sound financial conditions can guarantee the steady stream of high quality content which you are used to on Smashing Magazine. Today we need your financial support. Please help us by buying our new eBook "Professional Web Design".

Well, needless to say I went ahead and ordered the eBook. In the past, I have ordered their printed book “The Smashing Magazine Book”. The printed book is a valuable asset to novice and experienced web developers and designers alike. I am looking forward to reading the eBook. The eBook contains a selection of their best articles about professional Web design and the business side of web development. It contains 10 already published articles and 2 exclusive, newly written pieces. The book costs only $9.90.

Plea: Please tweet my post, or just tweet the url to the eBook and the printed book so that we can all help Smashing Magazine. It is a very small thing on our part to do to keep this very valuable asset going.
