For much of the past year I have been concentrating on my other blog, Shooting at Bubbles, where I talk about social media and Web 2.0 and as result WinExtra has taken a kind of back seat. Well that will be changing as I have finally gotten to a point with the other blog where it is just a matter of keeping fresh content being posted daily and as a result I am going to be spending a lot more time working on this blog.

Microsoft and Windows has always been my first interest and it feels good to be return to that as my main blogging thrust. I have quite a few ideas and plans as to what will be happening here and in the Community Forums. To start of the good news of new things is that I will be adding two more writers to the roster.

The first addition is a gentleman who likes to refer to himself as Pierre but those of us from the forums call him Mr. Super Computer. Pierre lives in Paris and as a result he will be bringing us news and opinion about Microsoft from a European perspective. Glad to have you on board good sir.

The second person isn’t so much a new addition but more of a return of a great and funny writer – welcome back PJ. Now PJ comes from a rather interesting background and will be covering security news as it relates to Microsoft and Windows. I am also sure, knowing PJ, that he will be posting his thoughts and opinions as it relates to those subjects.

As well I will be doing a lot of work on the site itself in regards to the backend and design. Along with that I will be looking at some ideas to add some new and interesting feature to make this a more interesting place to drop by and hopefully make a regular stopping point in your daily surf of the web.

I’m excited to be back here and doing more than just posting the occasional story. I am also looking forward to the future of the blog and I hope you the reader will stick around for the ride – it should be fun and interesting.
