For 2009 we have made some major changes to the Trot.org site which will allow us to highlight the most interesting and entertaining content from the discussion forums and elsewhere. As you can see from the homepage we have converted to more of an online magazine format, but are still keeping a high level of user interaction as opposed to only feeding you static content. Many articles will allow commenting (moderated), and we will have various types of contests and interactive activities.
The popular discussion forum is accessible from a link at the top of the page, as is our sales site Extendedtrot.com.
We have brought back articles written by our members, and have introduced a new mini-article series called 4 Beats. It consists of four quick questions asked of various people in the industry. If you would like to interview someone for 4 Beats let me know at info@trot.org and include 4 Beats in the subject line of your email.
We will also periodically have more in-depth articles, show and event coverage, videos, photographs, fun stuff, etc. Our new format will make it is easy to be fast and flexible.
Happy New Year to all and more to come soon!

Wow, I was surprised when I hopped on Trot today! It looks great, and I am sure it will be an extremely successful change.
Is it snowing here, or have me and/or my computer losts our minds?
Thanks for all of your hard work,
