By Nicole Brydson

Welcome to the new Brooklyn The Borough! We’ve undergone a makeover during the last week to improve and expand our content offerings. Now we’d like to invite bloggers from all over Brooklyn to have their voice resonate in the borough by adding their RSS feed to our new central hub for Brooklyn news: Boroughing. If you’d like us to feature your blog here and also have the opportunity to expand your readership via our partnership with the Huffington Post, please email us your RSS feed URL and a little bit about what and where you write about.

Please also take a moment to fill out our reader survey.  Over the last seven months, you’ve gotten to know us, and now it’s time for us to get to know you.  This information will be used to target local, small business advertising to each region of Brooklyn in order to support our unique and independent local reporting.  Take me to the Reader Survey
