Hey folks, I just wanted to write a quick piece over on CSR to let people know about a new opportunity that has presented itself, to clarify and answer any questions people might have.

In short, I have been offered a job to take over the fanball.com Carolina Panthers' blog at www.realbitsofpanthers.com

One of the major elements of the contract I signed (and an area that was important to me) is that I am not expected to relinquish or abandon any other writing endeavors I already have; this means, I will keep writing for Cat Scratch Reader, continue to be an editor and it will be business as usual.

I know a lot of the community visit a lot of different sites and blogs, so I didn't want there to be any misconception if you find my other blog and notice that my bio describes me to a tee.

So, in summation: Nothing will change as far as my status as CSR. I will continue to write for the blog, I will still be an active member of this community (hands down the best I have ever seen on a sports blog) and continue to be with you guys for the open threads, the bantering, and the discussion down the road.

I would like to also take this opportunity to thanks Jaxon, the other editors and writers of CSR and of course the readers. With you comments, critiques and suggestions I have become a better writer and would not have been presented this opportunity without all of your aide.

Thanks again, James R Dator (James the Aussie)
