ChicagoSportsBlogs : Non Compete

I know a lot of you have been wondering what the hell has been going on around here. I haven't changed the site in months. Hell, it probably has been years. I think it is time to expand. Here is what I mean:

• In the next few weeks I will be upgrading our system to the latest version of Community Server. There are a ton of new features that will show up as a result. I'm hoping to have this done soon. (it is in progress behind the scenes)
• RSS features will be improved. Sometimes, during the Bears' season especially, MJ and I are posting stuff that should be aggregated on a single RSS feed. A Bears feed! Why not? I'll be working to make this happen.
• We'll be launching a redesign too. I'm interviewing designers and templates right now. Shoot me an email if you want in on this action. Be warned, I may just do this myself....but if you've got ideas let's hear them.
• The NFL Draft. I'm wondering if there is still interest in pulling off the live NFL Blogger Draft like we did last year. I've been so busy with real life I'm not sure I have time to manage it again this year. IF you are interested in drafting for your team (and you own an NFL Team blog - email us) I'll get back to guys on the NFL Draft in the coming days. (I know we're almost out of time)
• I'm also hopeful that I'll be adding more writers soon too. It's time for a fresh perspective. I realize that after 4+ years of doing this site, that new voices are good. The problem is - I don't know many guys who have the time to write.

That's it. I wanted to say thanks to the few loyal readers we have out there. Stick it out, I'm going to make one massive push this year to improve things.
