A Note About TechCentral
We hope you are enjoying the new and improved NationalJournal.com. We're still working out some kinks so please be patient with us. If you're a subscriber, you might have noticed that TechCentral, our one-stop shop for tech policy and related coverage is a bit hidden. To find it, visit the CongressDaily section of the Web site, click on the "hot topics" tab and scroll down -- or you can follow this link. As upgrades continue, there should be multiple, easy ways to get to TechCentral so stay tuned.

Like The New Look Of Tech Daily Dose?
It's a new day over at Tech Daily Dose -- and it shows. As you've probably noticed, our packaging has changed slightly to reflect our repositioning under the CongressDaily heading. It's all part of National Journal Group's plan to increase its technology-related coverage throughout all of its publications.
I envision this blog evolving to include a range of topics that had otherwise been noted in Technology Daily (and may not be of particular interest to our broadened audience in CongressDaily) so if there's something blogworthy on the tech policy front, please don’t hesitate to send it my way -- anoyes@nationaljournal.com.

Bye, Bye Beltway Blogroll
As many of you already know by now, Thursday's issue of Technology Daily will be the publication's last. While Tech Daily Dose will carry on with the backing of Congress Daily, the Beltway Blogroll is calling it quits.
My editor Danny Glover launched the unique Web product (along with a companion column for NationalJournal.com) in June 2005 with the goal of proving that blogs would quickly gain power in policy circles inside the Beltway. Mission accomplished!
Glover posted a farewell to his readers here but he is by no means leaving the blogosphere. AirCongress, a portal to audio and video of, by and about Congress that he started in 2006, will stay online. He also kicked off a one-year blog project dubbed Taxation With Representation with the purpose highlighting America's tax troubles.
Glover's full-time career move into Internet video is just days away too, so stay tuned. I'm sure he'll let us know what he's up to.

A Note To Our Readers: Change Is In The Air
The following letter was posted prominently on Technology Daily's main page on Tuesday so I thought I'd share it with blog readers. The shutdown described below should not impact Tech Daily Dose... So please keep reading and thank you for your support!
--------------
Dear Reader:
After nine years of publication, National Journal's Technology Daily bids farewell this Thursday.
In announcing this decision recently, we noted that National Journal Group is moving to increase technology-related coverage throughout all of its publications. In particular, National Journal's CongressDaily -- our twice daily publication for Capitol Hill insiders -- will be adding staff for this purpose.
And, beginning next Monday, Feb. 4, the online edition of CongressDaily will contain a new, continuously updated section that will include stories of interest to the technology sector in one convenient place. This section will also be home to several of the weekly features that have appeared regularly in Technology Daily over the years.
If you are interested in a trial subscription to CongressDaily, please call 800-424-2921 or e-mail us at memberships@nationaljournal.com.
With best regards,
Lou Peck
Editor In Chief

Pardon Our Technical Difficulties
A note to Technology Daily subscribers: Friday's full PM Edition was sent to readers via e-mail a little later than usual. Due to technical difficulties (a family of menacing squirrels possibly wreaking havoc in the IT room?) we were unable to post the edition to our Web site. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope that it is cleared up soon.

Making Tech Daily Dose A Daily
Tech Daily Dose made its debut as an Election Night blog last November. Since then, we have resurrected it periodically for covering key events like the Consumer Electronics Show in January and the Tech Policy Summit last month. We've also used the blog to publish news that has occurred off Tech Daily's normal deadlines.
Well, consider that trial period over. Senior Writer Andrew Noyes has done an excellent job of feeding our blog beast and relishes the thought of doing it more often. As of today, Tech Daily Dose is a permanent feature of coverage at National Journal's Technology Daily.
Andrew will be the primary blogger, but other Tech Daily staffers may contribute periodically as well. We're also pondering ways to incorporate ideas from readers into the mix here, so if you have ideas, feel free to e-mail me at dglover@nationaljournal.com.
