It's been kind of a wild ride here with content shifting, staff shrinking, the newspaper transforming into an online news vehicle and, well, you've seen where we are with all of it.

And with all of the changes, we want you to know that we've been thinking of you, our readers, and we are continuing to try to provide you with a news vehicle different from the others you use in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

I want to extend a sincere thank you to all of you who have stayed with us and given us the input we need to continue this venture, and to attain our goal of providing you with more relevant news and information. We hope that you will let us know what you would like to see in CinciPulse.com -- and use this Web site as a forum for what matters to you.

Most of all, we as the staff of CinciPulse.com wish all of you, our readers, happy holidays, including a new year that exceeds even your most hopeful expectations!
