So it's happy first birthday to Dale Street Blues.

I'm not sure I realised how much time I'd end spending so much time blogging but I have thoroughly enjoyed it, I hope you have too.

There have been many guest bloggers, including a guest vlog from John Prescott.

And I was delighted when DSB was named 33rd in the top media blogs poll by Total politics earlier this year.

But naturally after a year it seems a good time to ask readers what you like and what you don't, and any suggestions you may have for how to improve the blog.

It would also seem a good time to thank you all for reading and commenting. Thank you.
