That means, in short, that I'll have to sign off from blogging here at Beliefnet after nearly a year and a half of a very rewarding time. This was my first opportunity as a blogger, something that was new for me and challenging--in terms of the commitment, the style of writing, and, yes, keeping up with the feedback and trying to digest it all.
But the traffic grew steadily from a standing start to a very healthy level, and I regret having to leave off. But there are so many fine options at Beliefnet, including Amy Welborn's Via Media, which has been going like gangbusters for the past few months.
And of course I'll welcome any and all of your comments at PoliticsDaily. Not all of you will be in agreement (or even charitable--or is that an understatement?!). But I have honestly appreciated the feedback, and, yes, learned from it. And I hope it has been a reciprocal experience at some points.
So thanks to the faithful, friends and foes. Arrivederci a tutti.

I am glad you got the opportunity and I hope you do well. I wish Beliefnet would have more Catholic bloggers. Now than Amy Welborn is on a break, the only one they have is the former-Catholic Rod Dreher. A shame!
Thank you for all your inspiring thoughts and comments, they have given me much to ponder. I am sure you will continue to speak into the hearts and minds of your readers.
David,
Congratulations! Now I can say what I really think at Politicsdaily!
You're leaving us with nothing but Amy Welborn? Great, now there will be no moderate/progressive Catholic voice on this site. Can't you suggest some good folks to Beliefnet who might replace you? Please don't leave us with just the "my way or highway" folks...
David, I've just seen this after my own vacation and related absences. Switching my RSS feeds right now. All the best at PoliticsDaily.com!
Tom
