As the year draws to a close, everyone is frantically trying to finish up before the year is over before heading off for a break. Don't forget to reflect on the key learnings of the past year - it doesn't help that we burn ourselves out trying to get everything done and then try save some braincells in a 10-day break before starting the cycle all over again in a new year! Bizcommunity.com has had a successful year, growing readership to 32 000 a week with our daily and weekly ezine - translating to over a million pages viewed per month; as well as being named one of the Financial Mail's Top 100 most valuable websites; our team has doubled in size, and is set to grow even more in 2005 as we expand to bring you a better service. And we're going to give you, our dear stressed out reader, a break by closing on December 15th - reopening on January 10th, so you don't have a mailbox full of ezines when you return from your holiday! Any breaking news will be on the website. Have a good one! Louise Marsland, Editor, editor@biz-community.com
