Hey there!
I know many folks did this last year, but I would love to convince you to try it.
We have a writing challenge over on the Codú site.
The challenge is simple: write six articles in six weeks and receive a mystery swag bag at the end of it!
Share your knowledge, experiences, and opinions on web development, from cutting-edge technologies to industry best practices.
And the best part?
A mystery swag bag of awesome goodies will reward you for your hard work and creativity.
