The day you've been waiting for.

This is it, folks.

No, this is more than it. This is IT. This is the official declaration: Brickspace is ONE YEAR OLD. We've made it. We're through. So, without further ado, here's a couple of announcements to make our big day even bigger. Massive, even.

Brickspace Opinions
Something that we've been working on for a while now is finally finished. We'd like to introduce you all to Brickspace Opinions, a new sub-blog. From the official press release:
Brickspace Opinions is the blogging revolution from Brickspace.org. Have your say by blogging mini-articles about whatever Lego-related topic you choose, and reply to others' articles with your own. If an article is a little too long for your reply, then just write your opinion as a comment. Brickspace Opinions has a comments system powered by DISQUS, which means you can reply to other comments and customize your profile picture quickly and easily.
Brickspace Opinions is advertising for people to help write for it, so please, if you interested, contact me at john@brickspace.org.

The second year of Brickspace
There's a lot of things I would like to say here, a lot of information about what I'd like to do with Brickspace in the coming year. Of course, I won't tell you all of that now, but if you really want to know, check back on some of the celebration posts - they reveal a lot of my plans for Brickspace.
My main aim is to make Brickspace a completely unique blog, being more like Brickspace Opinions, only with creations and videos and all the usual stuff. I want to aim more to opinionated content, stuff more to make you think rather than plain ol' "this is a creation it is good" stuff. Sure, that's good for you readers to get a quick idea of the MOC, but judging on the success of blogs like Brick Flotilla, so-called 'rant blogs' are becoming increasingly popular. Opinions is Brickspace's first step to becoming what I want it to evolve into by next year.

As for other features, you'll just have to wait. Anyway, enough disappointment - let's not spoil Brickspace's big day!

Thank you all, staff and readers, for keeping Brickspace going for one whole year. Without you, I wouldn't be here saying thanks to you today. Please, carry on reading Brickspace, and have another fantastic year!

Farvel, og tusind tak,
~John
