As of yesterday, we're officially one month old!  On my own behalf and that of my fellow authors, I'd like to thank all our readers for what has been a terrific few weeks.  Those of you who have been active in the comments thread have really helped to make this blog an interesting – sometimes exhausting, frustrating and/or exhilarating – place to hang out.  And I know there are more of you who are reading the blog without commenting, and you too have been indispensable to what success we've had here.

I get the sense that our readership is a pretty diverse one, politically speaking.  And that's one of the things that has been most gratifying about the blog so far.  I was hoping that this blog might serve as a forum for political dialogue between groups that don't converse as much and as openly as they should.  And I think that hope has mostly been realized.  But, just to satisfy my curiosity, I've set up a poll on the blog to see how our readers self-identify.  I'd encourage those of you who read this blog through our feed to stop by the site and participate.

We've had almost 100 posts, over 1500 comments, and over 120,000 pageviews in the last month.  Things are going great, and I can't wait to see where they go in the future.  Where my fellow bloggers go will be as much a surprise to me as it is to the rest of you.  But, speaking for myself, I have a few things in mind.  One of which is a ongoing series on "A Bleeding Heart History of Libertarian Thought," in which I will cover various figures in the libertarian intellectual tradition with a special focus on their views on the relationship between limited government and social justice.  I have entries planned on John Locke, Adam Smith, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Murray Rothbard, Ayn Rand, and others.  I hope to get the first post up in the next few weeks.

But I'd like to hear what our readers think, too.  What have you especially liked about the blog so far?  And how would you like to see us develop in the future?  The comments thread is open!
