To bring an end to 2009 I thought I would inform you all of the plans for 2010 on ChocolateMission.
* You may have noticed that over the past 24 hours I have made some minor fascia changes and have added a Menubar for the site. In 2010 I am aiming to make significant improvements to the navigation and design. Any suggestions you have are very welcome.
* Earlier in the year I informed you that in 2010 review posts would switch to Monday, Wednesday and Friday with a 'News' post on a Saturday. At present I currently have a two month back log of reviews ... so for the time being this reduced format will not come into effect until July.
* The 2009 ChocolateMission Awards went down well and I will definitely be running this same feature in 2010.
* In 2010 I am going to be looking to complete more reader requests - If you have a request please drop me a note on the Request page.
* ..... Most exciting!???? One of the biggest frustrations I have with this site is that a great deal of the products I review from America are not readily available to us all here in Europe. I am currently looking into starting a Jim's ChocolateMission shop that stock goods from the US whilst offering competitive shipping prices for lands farther afield! This development is only in it's very stages but I hope to have something set up by mid 2010. The idea isn't for this to be a money making scheme but more of an opportunity to broaden the options open to my readers.
* Stars & Their Bars #3 is incoming .... Yep I have been pestering yet more celebs :D
* A new 'upcoming reviews' widget will be added to one of the sidebars. This way you will all be more aware what is due up on the site.
I hope this all has you excited for the new year. Any suggestions for the site are of course very welcome!
Have a great New Years Eve - Cheers to a great 2009
JIM

You need to stop your reviews being so anti Nestle
I think all your ideas for the New Yaer are excellent Jim, and the sound of a Chocolate Mission shop is very exciting - I hope it comes to fruition! :)
I wish you and the Mission every success and a very happy new year in 2010!
A shop? Wowz that is cool. What you planning on selling?
Yes I am excited..
Well done Jim for another year! This site now has a practically a cult following (in a non-bizarre way) and as I'm sure you're aware we all muchly appreciate your hard work in the name of chocolate entertainment. This site is fantastical on every level.
I shan't blither on in wally mode though. You know how I love the chocolate mission!
Have a good new year everybodyyy!
Wow what a good idea Jim, nice to see your dedication :) It all sounds good for 2010.
Happy New Year to you.
"You need to stop your reviews being so anti Nestle"
- No Jim doesn't! Nestle are generally crap. They're no where near as bad as Hershey but Nestle chocolate, I feel, is often of poor quality, aimed at kids and unimaginative.
I'd choose Cadbury any time of the day if we're looking at that price bracket.
Nestle may be a huge corporation, but they've got a lot to learn about making good chocolate, let alone great chocolate!

Ooh a shop! Sounds like you've got some really exciting things lined up for 2010 and I can't wait for another year of reviews. Keep up the good work Jim and hope you have a Happy New Year!! :D
A SHOP SOUNDS AMAZING. DO IT PLEASE!!!!!!
XOXO
Keep up the great work Jim. I am looking forward to see this all come to fruition in 2010.
Happy New Years Eve =>
I can't believe it, Jim. A shop ? Good to see you are still hard at it after all this time. Must be complete hell tasting all that chocolate day in day out. If you ever get famous and decide to write your autobiography, do give me a mention for the Hotel Choc intro way back when....
Happy New Year to you, sweetheart, and Bravo.

Thank you yourself for all you delightful and interesting comments. I hope I do continue to entertain! Be sure to stick around now :)
David
The planning for the store is in very early stages but I could be doing some market research for appropriate products soon :) ..... stay tuned chap!
Lottie
Argh you are way too kind to me :) I do have a soft spot for all my loyalists :) Please keep commenting and adding your wisdom ... it is always very much appreciated.
Phil
Cheers chap all the above applies to you of course.
Lee
Cheers for the back up chap! I have no idea where these people get the idea that I am anti Nestle ... some of my favourite products (Kit Kat etc) are made by Nestle! ... it isn't my fault that make some utter tosh also.

I hope you will input into my research when I do some :) I really want to sell stuff that people actually want!
Maxine
Ahh like I would ever forget your so kind self that first introduced me to the wonders of Hotel Chocolat. The bar you sent me still holds the number one spot on the leaderboard of course :)
I am glad you are still reading despite my ban on Digital Spy! Maybe you could give that old topic a bump for me to get some of the old regulars back on the site.
