<\/a> Of course, the new year demands reflecting on the old and planning for the new, and I’ve been thinking hard about what went well this past year, and how I can make sustainablog even better in 2006. 2005 was sustainablog’s “break out” year, and I want to thank all of you that helped make that happen. So, here’s what I’m considering:<\/p>\n 1. Of course, there will be another edition of “Blogging ‘Round the Clock”<\/a> around sustainablog’s third anniversary on July 11. I’m looking at local organizations to benefit from the fundraising: if any St. Louisans have suggestions on a worthy environmental organization, please chime in! I’m playing with the idea of looking for sponsors — if you have suggestions on this front, let me know.<\/p>\n 2. I’m also thinking about regular feature items for sustainablog in addition to the normal news and commentary. I’ve really enjoyed writing the profiles for Greener<\/a> (which will be returning shortly), and think something along these lines would be a great addition here. I’m also thinking about interviews or “Q&A” pieces.<\/p>\n 3. I’m definitely interested in “joint ventures” — City Hippy<\/a>‘s been quite an inspiration on this front. If you have ideas, bring ’em on…<\/p>\n 4. I’m still playing with the idea of a podcast program — does the world need another talk radio\/audio program on sustainability\/ the environment?<\/p>\n 5. I discussed the possibility of a Sustainable Blogosphere conference with Graham Hill of Treehugger<\/a> late last year. Would some of you be interested in this? We’d do it online (of course).<\/p>\n 6. Finally, I’ve been thinking for some time about moving to my own domain. Would this add to sustainablog’s credibility? I’m also interested in creating a logo — feel free to send me a bid.<\/p>\n Thank you for your contributions to and support of sustainablog over the past year.

That title make it sound like I’m doing this because I have to… Rather, I’m happy to wish yet another ‘Happy New Year!’ to sustainablog readers, and am excited when I recognize I’ve done this three times now…<\/p>\n
