We Turn One

thugs

Today is the official 1 year anniversary of HTML Giant.

Thanks to everyone, contributors (past and present), commenters, lurkers, snarkies, all: together who have made it even better than we imagined. For me it’s been fun, inspiring, and a pleasure to be a part of. I hope so for you too.

Let’s make some more.

He is having no time for literature or rock musics, only to homework and basketball. Accordiongly, the following I present behalved of my son on your accomplishments, to now celebrating it:

      nice. keep it up. been checking out the site regularly since beginning of the year. maybe the coolest things on the intranets near the top of my browsing list. way cooler than facecrook and big tittie porn.

      i’m a recent gianter, having found this group/blog/etc. a few weeks ago from Molly Gaudry’s and Sean Lovelace’s blogs, but it’s done the awesome trick of getting my brain and fingers moving again after a 2′ish year post-writing program hiatus. can’t thank you enough for that.

      as vehemently as possible i disagree with a major editorial decision at htmlg and the manner in which it was carried out, which was fucked; otherwise it’s been a goddamn mecca and every few months becomes something other than itself given the open-circuitry of its architecture of contributors and commenters, a self-sustaining, self-invigorating feedback loop.

      reply

      Blake Butler

        what editorial decision is that?

        reply

        david erlewine

          was that allowing me to keep posting?
