@Sojan80: Thanks, typo fixed.

@Dan Grossman: Because Simon was so professional and gave us plenty of notice, we have some time up our sleeve to find the right person.

Wow, that’s a shock! Is Simon staying until a replacement is hired?

Great Job Simon and good luck on your other endeavors.

As a side note, I can’t be the only one who noticed this, but if you read the full description for Managing Editor (http://www.sitepoint.com/about/jobs/job9-managing_editor.php), the title element for the page, the legend in the fieldset that holds the position description, and breadcrumb links say Web Developer / Database Guru. Um, shouldn’t those all say Managing Editor?

Whoever gets the job, they’ll have big shoes to fill. It was a delight to work with you on The Ultimate CSS Reference, Simon. I’m sorry to see you go, but I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

As Matty pointed out, I was originally supposed to be in the role for 18 months before heading back to England. The main reason behind me sticking around for so much longer is that I’ve really enjoyed my time at SitePoint – it’s a fantastic company to work for and a very rewarding role.

If you’re passionate about the Web, this is a fantastic opportunity – the books that we publish here have an impact on web developers worldwide.
