Well, this is our last newsletter for 2011, but we will be back with our first newsletter for 2012 on 10 January. In the meantime we will continue to update the site, but at a lower rate since a great many of you, being far cleverer than us, will be relaxing on holiday or at home with friends and family, and work will be the last thing on your mind.
So, from the Bizcommunity team, our best wishes to all of you - our readers, subscribers, contributors and your friends and families - we hope you have a wonderful and restful festive season and we'll see you back in 2012.
Drive safely, drive defensively, and be safe.
