Happy birthday! I just started visiting BnA a few weeks ago – it and ALA are definitely my new web homes.

Please keep up the great work.

the big things missing in MT needed by a magazine—

staging ground
editoral/workflow built in.
rich classification tools

MT is a tool for blogs—it isn’t a tool for everything. It was our choice to try to make it work. And who knows—maybe the next MT will have these.

as for wishlists, start here

I’d be curious what you liked and didn’t like about MovableType. I’m in the process of starting to use it for a fairly large site -and so any idea of what we might not want to do would be interesting to hear. Or… any suggestions for other similar (and almost-free) software tool.s

One year only!? I forget where we used to go for the good stuff before B&A. I cannot imagine reading about IA advances these days without Boxes & Arrows. Keep up the great work everyone!

Congratulations to all the B&A team! I’m so impressed with the amount of progress and the consistency of outstanding content. When I recently posted on SIGIA about moving beyond first principles, B&A was one of the first things I thought about as a place where the field is progressing.

Looking forward to many years of fantastic content to come.

1,149 comments? ... Wow! my one article is 10% of the total comments.???? Ok, come-on! that is worth kvelling about … I also want to say that I LOVE B&A. I look forward to every update so much that I almost always get to the latest version b4 the real announcement arrives in my mailbox.

I also want to give special kudos to the editors. I can vouch for what Christina says when she says the editors ARE the magazine. Brenda worked with me on so many revisions of my last article that we ended up going back to where we started from. I wish you all could have shared in that process b/c some of that great thinking and content will never see the light of day. But the magazine is all the better for it b/c what came out was precisely what was needed by the B&A audience.

Kudos to everyone who works and writes for B&A. It is really the only zine I read anymore.
