May is gone and now is the time to check out the stats. I am so happy to see that we have managed to make all parameters grow substantially, although i must say it is getting harder and harder.

We have tweaked our theme several times this month due too some test we were running, the conclusion of those test will be published in the following week.

Just before the stats we would like to announce that from now on we will be accepting guest posts.

If you want your post featured on Dev102 all you have to do is this:

1. Write a really good post :).
2. Your post should be at least 500 words and be without grammar errors.
3. We don’t mind about the subject as long as it is related, images are ok.
4. Send it to us by email to admin-at-dev102.com. If you need to have code in it then add the code files with the email and add them as plain text to the article we will make sure it looks ok before publishing. Also mark where you want the images to be located.
5. We will review all articles and publish all the articles we see fit.

Get your post published on dev102!!!. 

At the top of the article you will be credited + receive a link to your blog at the top. We don’t mind if you link to other articles in your blog from within your article, as long as it is not to much, meaning, don’t put 100 link in the article 3-4 will be fine.
