Happy New Year! We are so excited that today, on the first day of 2015, we are officially launching our new website. Thebuzzmagazines.com gives neighbors new ways to connect with each other and find out what’s happening in Buzz communities.

In addition to easily reading, commenting on and sharing stories and multimedia from your phone, tablet or computer, you can stay up-to-date through new website features:

Events calendar – get ideas for what to do and upload your own events.
Reader photos – share your photos and see neighbor photos.
Reader videos – share your videos and see others’ videos.
People finder – find yourself and your friends in The Buzz.
Recipes – check out our experts’ recipes and upload your own favorite recipes.
Restaurants – read restaurant reviews and search restaurants by area, cuisine and price.
Blogs – see City Corner for community news, School Buzz for perspectives from local high school students and Buzzworthy for other up-to-date reports, including recent-event photos and videos, and our new, weekly Charity Buzz posts.

While we’re excited about the new website, we remain committed as well to our popular monthly print magazines – The Bellaire Buzz, The West University Buzz, The Tanglewood/River Oaks Buzz and The Memorial Buzz. The stories and photos you see each month in print will also be available at thebuzzmagazines.com for easy searching and sharing.

In fact, January’s magazine theme is perfect for coinciding with the launch of our new website since it’s all about babies – and planning for thebuzzmagazines.com has been a bit like labor. Check out our January stories on pregnancy and fitness, glamorous baby nurseries, postpartum depression and babymoon travel, as well as the first article in our new monthly column, Buzz Baby, by staff writer Annie McQueen, new mom to twins. For now, we hope you enjoy our new “baby,” thebuzzmagazines.com.

We look forward to hearing what you think. If you have any story ideas or feedback for us, comment here or email [email protected]. Have a happy and Buzzworthy 2015!
