Hello ladies and gentlemen, hope you had a fine Christmas and New Year Party – we sure did! But after a much needed vacation, we’re back in business! So, just as a quick reminder:

– We love it when you write to us! Tell it what we do right, what we do wrong, what we should keep and what we should change. It’s emails from you that keep us going.

– We’ve launched a new Questions and Answers section. It’s still in beta, but go ahead and ask any questions and we’ll do our best to answer them. We’re also in talks with several experts and professors to get highly qualified people from many fields answering your questions. But until then, we could really use some beta testers and we’ll answer your questions – so it’s a win-win situation.

– We have several giveaways and contests planned for early 2013. I’m currently negotiating with some advertisers to get as many prizes as possible for you guys; if you happen to know any other advertisers interested in this kind of deal,  give us a shoutout.

– Thank you. 2012 has been nothing short of wonderful, and it’s all thanks to you guys. Let’s make 2013 even better, shall we?
