2008 is right around the corner. I can’t believe another year is gone. But 2007 was pretty amazing. This blog has really taken off and December marks the 1-year birthday of Brad’s Reader! My goal, however, is to grow and expand this blog even more in the next year.

My other goals for 2008 also include spending more time working on my own fiction, which has taken a backseat to blogging and my other projects. I even hope to dive a little deeper into poetry. But instead of boring you with my own goals, I want to read yours!

This month marks the 1-year birthday for the Brad’s Reader blog! So, in order to celebrate, I have decided to run a little "contest" and give away a cool prize to the winner. My reason for doing this is because all of you (the readers) have been very supportive over the last year and helped this blog grow into what it has become! Thus, I want to give something back.

I hope everyone here in the US had a great Thanksgiving! Sorry this message is a day late – too much stuff going on yesterday to post. By the time I got home from having a big turkey dinner, I was too tired to write anything. Yeah, I know, I can be lazy sometimes.

Anyway, I’ll be back on my regular schedule tomorrow!

I just wanted to post a quick update to say that the November Newsletter will be delayed until this weekend. Usually, I try to get my monthly newsletter out at the first of the month, but I’m experimenting with a new format so things are taking longer than I thought.

I apologize for not posting as regularly as I usually do. The last week or so has been very busy with family coming into town, getting the October newsletter ready and other assorted activities that have taken me away from Brad’s Reader. But don’t worry, I should be back to posting daily this week, probably starting tomorrow.

This page features some of my top posts, both past and present. A post written even a month ago is buried in the archives, so there’s a good chance most new readers will not see it. I compile this list based on site statistics and feeback from readers like you!

The following are my top posts (in no particular order):

As you can see, the newly re-designed Brad’s Reader has officially been launched! This represents a large step in moving away towards the template-like feel the old design had and adding some much needed professionalism to the blog. I hope you all like it.

Please note that there are still a few bugs in the new design. If you happen to come across one, please let me know by using the "contact Brad" link on the right-hand side navigation bar. Be sure to include what the problem is and the page you found it on.
