Darren — I’ve enjoyed this whole series, but to me this is the best installment so far.

I particularly like what Vitaly says about not being afraid to tackle hard, complex topics. The conventional wisdom about publishing more blog posts that are shorter is fine — but then Smashing has found a way to publish *really* long posts that absolutely hold the reader’s interest. Good stuff!

Smashing Magazine surely is an interesting website, but… I don’t get the point of this guest post at all. What’s the message here, besides showcasing SM’s most popular articles ?

Smashing Magazine is great, I love their stuff. That 404 article is really interesting, never even thought about doing something like that.

It sounds like being a) useful, b) innovative, and c) user-oriented are again proven to be the keys to success. Thanks for proving that regardless of the genre or subject, these three are essential to any successful blog!

Their magazine is something I read religiously. They have so many great articles that I find useful and I often go there when I need inspiration. I hope they continue to succeed in all their goals. Thanks for the interview, it was great!

I’ve only started reading Smashing Magazine last month but all their posts are very informative and useful.

I am a regular reader of SM and I have to say their articles are by far the BEST in the business. I will agree with the 404 page thought. Even Darren has pointed this out earliar that how important a 404 page is. Same is the reason why I have worked a little on my 404 pages. Still I think their is lots of room left and I will surely give them some more time very soon.

Thanx for arranging some big bloggers sharing thoughts with us Darren.

This series on blogs’ tipping points is great. You’ve managed to include all the best blogs. Smashing magazine would have to be one of my favourite blogs.

404 page can be created so creative and effective, but this days i just see redirection to simple ads page or main page.

This is great! I’ve been religiously reading Smashing Magazine the past year and they are indeed a success story, one that certainly deserves a spot in your series.
Thanks Darren!
