ZNH Evolves: A blogging update, and new writers

Hope everyone is having a happy May holiday.

I figured this is as good a time as any to update our progress on Zhongnanhai. Later this month, we will be unveiling a new site design complete with new writers and a renewed focus at bringing more stories and more opinions to our daily readership.

Keen readers will have noticed that Mr. Rich joined us in March, our fourth regular contributor. We will be adding more regular contributors over the coming months, including news, views, and perspectives from all corners of China.

If you are interested in writing for Zhongnanhai, we are specifically seeking people who regularly read news and blog websites, and have a keen interest in technology and/or arts and entertainment. If you are interested, please email me at cam@zhongnanhaiblog.com.

I should also mention that May marks this blog's one year anniversary. I launched it while sitting on a bar stool inside Malone's in Shanghai. I had been considering starting a blog for some time, and figured, a couple of beers in, that now was as good as any. I couldn't have anticipated then how much, and how fast, this blog would grow in the coming year. Our unique visitors, overall visitors, and page views have improved each month since then, hitting our record-setting month in April.

Thanks to everyone for stopping by, and check back often because big changes are coming this month.

Happy May Day!

Cam.
