Our 3-year screening blog anniversary
Three years ago, back in the summer of 2015, we hit the 'publish' button on our very first blog screening blog post. To mark the occasion we are going to take you, our loyal blog subscribers, on a little trip down memory lane as well as offer a few reminders about some features you may have forgotten about.
