It's been just one month since the launch of Digjitale.com, and I find myself motivated from the incredible support received from the community. The encouragement from the readers has been consistent from day one and the feedback on the selection is quite good, still room to improve but definitely reading through all your suggestions. The content shared, along with the approach of reactivating Digjitale and bringing it back to its roots, has been met with great enthusiasm. Let’s see what we have for this week.
