Hello! if you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the SolidSmack RSS feed or to the free email updates. Thanks for visiting!
Well everyone, look at that. We have completely plundered the riches of the web and have a big ol’ bag of incredibly useful tips and information. SolidSmack.com is officially one year old today. (See first post here.)
You all are completely incredible and make this so much fun, I can’t even explain it. I seriously can not believe all the people (and characters) I’ve meet the past year. So spin in a circle, pat your back and yell SolidSmack real loud to celebrate the joy.
Shouts out to the other bloggers, SolidWorks, and especially to the ones that throw down in the comments.
What’s coming up this year?
More wonderful posts, but I want to hear from you. What do you want to see more of? less of? What do you like the most? least?
As many have speculated, a new version of SolidSmack is launching soon and I want to make it as useful for you as possible with content you find interesting. So let me know!

WOW! Hard to believe that an entire year has passed since you started. I am glad to see how the interest in you site has grown. Just keep pounding the posts and it will keep going!
Lets see that new user interface! I want a shortcut toolbar!
I agree with Charges on the shortcuts. I would like to see more shortcuts at the top of the home page that are static and appear on all pages. I just like it that way because it makes it easier to navigate and most of the sites for vendors tend to do that I visit often.
Congratulations, Josh! Here’s to another year of great success and interesting articles!
Josh,
Congrats on the milestone. Isn’t it fun to do this stuff? Personaly I enjoy getting called a Solidworks Shil, and being told that I need to have a claw tub full of ice water dumped on me all in the span of a week! I’m still trying to figure what a claw tub is by the way! Anyhow, heres looking forward to another fun year, before you know it we’ll be in Orlando!

Thanks everyone! hmmm. a shortcut bar. that sounds interesting.
a claw tub full of ice water sounds even more interesting. I’m lookin’ forward to seeing everyone in Orlando for sure.
Congrats, I really enjoy your blog and I don’t even use Solidworks*
Hi Josh-
I read your blog everyday. Your skills are amazing.
Now, I’ll fire up my iTunes and listen to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly by the Ramones.
What, me worry?

Hey Josh,
I just wanted to tell you that I enjoy reading your blog and it’s probably the only website I’m checking regularly. I never put comments here so I thought that now is a good opportunity, since it’s the blog’s 1 year anniversary.
I’m enjoying reading articles about technology from the mechanical design POV. so please put more of those (like the PEAK-surgical thread).
I am Israeli by the way, and I would like to do something like solidsmack but in hebrew.
Keep up the good work and Thanks Josh.
Wow, it’s been THAT long? Time sure flies when you have a fro and stars coming out of your head.
And the growth charts, WOW! Congratulations indeed, Josh. I only wish I could do the same. Looks like the hard work is paying off.
I say keep doing what you’re doing; you have a unique style and unique content. That’s what keeps me coming
Congrats Josh, I’ll continue to spend work time reading your blog. Keep ‘em coming
Hey everyone, thanks again! I can’t believe it’s been that long either. A small injection everyday and suddenly I’ve become obsessed with CAD related stuff!
Congrats… keep up the good work
Josh,
Perhaps you have become a blogoholic. The intense need to get ideas out of your mind and out into the open for everyone else to read and comment on. It starts small with on or two posts every couple of days then it explodes into two or three a day. I look forward to the day’s when you will pop off about 20 per day.
