The one year anniversary of Level Up took place on September 25th. We meant to celebrate the occasion, much as we did our 100th posting, but truth be told, we were too busy bringing you the latest and greatest to waste time sending up fireworks or making it rain. Now that Newsweek.com is relaunching, however, we'll take a modest bow (thank you, thank you) before letting you know what features have been added to our humble blog.

The first and most important feature is comments. We had them at launch; unfortunately, when we switched to a new publishing tool, we lost them. Now they're back like the ghosts in "Poltergeist II: The Other Side," they're here to stay, and they should go a long way towards energizing what we hope will become a vibrant Level Up community. We welcome your opinions, questions and concerns; consider the comments your space to share your thoughts on videogames with us and the world at large. You'll have to register to comment, but it's a quick and painless process, so please take a moment to do so.

Beneath our other picture in the upper left-hand corner, you'll find a link to our email address. If there's something you'd like to say directly to us, go right ahead and do so. We love hot tips on as-yet-unbroken news, but you don't have to come bearing scoops in order to drop us a note--we want to hear from you. Looking at individual posts, you may notice that the categories no longer appear on top. We'd been using tags as rubrics for our stories, but we've temporarily lost that feature, as tags now only appear at the bottom of a post after you've clicked on it. We're told that this feature will be restored in a future iteration.

In the right-most column, beneath the big square advertisement, you'll see "Featured Postings." Here you can quickly access the three most recent Level Up posts we believe you won't want to miss. Finally, if you click on a post and scroll to the bottom, you'll see several handy features. You can adjust a slider bar to increase or decrease the size of the fonts on our blog. Also, at the click of a button, you can email print our posts; email them to friends, family and colleagues; add them to your RSS newsreader; or recommend them to social networks like Facebook, Digg, Sphere, Newsvine and Del.ico.us. It's been a long time coming, but we'd like to thank the folks at Newsweek.com and their partners for all of their hard work on the relaunch. As for you, our dear readers, we thank you for your support over the past 12 months, and we heartily welcome you aboard for the next 12 months and more.
