Editor's Corner: All About You
From analyzing CreativePro.com's site statistics, we know quite a bit about how people find us and what content they read the most. But those are just cold numbers. We'd like to get a more personal picture of why you come to CreativePro.com.
For instance, do you have favorite authors? Or do you focus more on particular topics? Do you wait for an intriguing article description in the daily and weekly newsletters before heading to the site? Or do you just wander by occasionally?
Finally, we're interested to hear about the resources (online, in print, whatever) other than CreativePro.com that you also value.
We hope you'll let us know more about you. We've made it easy by starting a thread in the Forums called "Why do you come to CreativePro.com?"
