We love keeping readers up to date on what's going on with the magazine development. The interest all of you show is truly inspiring, and it drives us all to keep moving forward with the progress we're making. It's been almost a full month since we last gave you guys a little update as to what's going on. This latest post will hopefully give you all an insight as to what we have going on for the December month. Keep in mind that this post is as of December 10th, 2009. The final two weeks of this month is where all the really big work comes in...
HBM News - The constant posts that we launch from this website, along with the occasional exclusive articles, will be posted more frequently. Although we still can't really confirm much on this topic, we can assure you that you won't see a gap like we had between this and our last post. Now that the deadline rush is coming in, we can safely say this is in full effect.

Special Interview - In our Content List post from back in November, we mentioned a "Special Interview With Big-Name Club Leaders". This is still in progress, but almost fully complete. All that needs to be done is a little editing.
Status: Partially Complete
PS3 Clan Interview - We also mentioned in the Content List that an active clan will be profiled and interviewed for the Home Invasion Edition of Home Business Magazine. Later in that same month, we got the go-ahead to reveal the first clan under the spotlight. Unfortunately, all we've been able to do is hold a quick meeting to try to set up a bigger get-together so we can get as much information as we can. Our selected clan, the XiLeZ, will be holding a special "All Welcome Holiday Photo Op" late on Christmas Eve to tie up our collaboration.
Status: Not Started
Brand New Home Videos - Our latest partners from PlayStation World.com have agreed to develop a video exclusively between their website and ours. Everything for this video is currently under wraps, but you can be that it will be something unique. We expect this project to be finalized and ready to unveil before New Year's Eve.
Status: Not Started
New Poll - What else can we say? It's finished.
Status: Complete
Letter To The Editor - We can't really say this one is either completed or not started simply because it is between the readers and the editors. We currently have not announced when readers were able to send letters to our editors, but if you want your voice heard early (and get a guaranteed spot on the Home Invasion), go ahead and send a letter to the magazine. The guys who take care of those emails will forward them over to a random editor (or a specific one if you chose).
Status: Unknown
Fashion Coverage - This is still a very secretive project, so we won't be able to say much here. What we can say is that there are a lot of women in Home who take styles from Lady Gaga. Anyway, there is a 35% chance you might not be able to read this cover for the Home Invasion. The February Edition might be home to it.

ATP - Across The Pond was very well liked among the community based on communication. We will be bringing it back for sure. The only reason it isn't completed is because the reporters, photographers and editors won't be covering everything about Home until the last two weeks of December. This means all the news you will receive about Home content will be from content released between the 20th and the 31st.
Status: Not Started
2010 Wishlist - This exclusive article is getting the finishing touches. You'll be able to read this one by January 5th.
Status: Complete
Home in 2009 - Another exclusive article. Our writer for this one is currently writing as the time goes by. He can't write about Home in 2009... in 2009! All the big news will be here in the end. Unfortunately, he has to wait until the end of the year arrives before any of our editors touch it.
Status: In Progress...
Home Is Here To Stay - Yet another exclusive article. It might just be the closest to finishing. Our editors have already received this one in rough draft form. Definitely expect this one in January.
Status: In Progress...
Blog Brief - Our spot where we cover one of our editor's personal blogs. This one is a monthly magazine release. Currently under construction, but it can't be revealed until all of Home's major events for 2009 are complete.
Status: In Progress...
Cover & Titles - One of our most secret of project. This promo hasn't even been released yet. We can't tell you how far we are, or any details as of right now. All you need to know is that it's happening.
