FROM THE EDITOR
Craig Rawlings
Dear Readers:

Thank you for the nice compliments regarding our new website the past couple of weeks. We're very happy with how it turned out. If you're curious who built the site, we used the design firm Men with Pens to tackle our demanding vision. Men with Pens ran with our ideas and created what we feel is truly something special. If you're in need of site design, we recommend them heartily.

On a related note, more and more readers are taking advantage of our classified ads site, which is wonderful. We jokingly refer to it as our "Craig's List" for the forest products industry. And like that "other" Craig's site, it's free to list as many ads as you want, which is not a bad deal at all. Promoting, buying, selling -- our classified site is a go-to tool for benefiting your forest products business. One other nice perk of our classified ad site over those others -- you can be assured your ad won't be competing against someone's used sofa!

Happy Holidays,

Craig Rawlings
