YES you read right, after two years of running the Guest Blog alongside our daily posts every single day (!!), it's time for a few changes around here.
We first launched the Guest Blog in August 2010, and since then we've hosted nearly 100 different Guest Bloggers here! (That is A LOT of emailing and hounding people, let me tell you!). But, in a week's time we'll be launching a somewhat amazing NEW LOOK TDF website, and with this change we've decided to streamline things a little, and put all our energy into making TDF daily content as super amazing as it can be :) For now that means saying a fond farewell to our old friend, the Guest Blog!
SOOOO there's a lot of pressure on Brendan McKnight this week - as he has the honour of being our FINAL EVER Guest Blogger!
You all would know Brendan from his role as editor of Desktop Magazine (check out our interview with him here last year) - although as it happens, he's finishing up next week to move onto a role heading up the digital offering at Dumbo Feather! Exciting times ahead!
This week we get a peek into Brendan's world, as he shares a few of his favourite things. It's an unexpected but very photogenic line-up! Do pop by each day to see what goodies Brendan has to share... you can follow Brendan on Twitter!
