Dear Readers
The BFD will still operate over the holiday period with General Debate and Backchat open for the community to use. It will be a great time to catch up on any articles that you missed over the past year.
We will be republishing a selection of the years most popular articles.
Our Basic level members will continue to have ad-free access and our Bronze level members will continue to have access each morning to our Crossword, Sudoku and Codecracker puzzles and to our private platform MyBFD. Our Silver level and above members will continue to have access to all their normal content such as Insight Politics articles.
The holiday period is the perfect time to finally get around to signing up for a BFD membership so that you can enjoy being ad-free, access the puzzles, chat to like-minded people in private on MyBFD and finally get to read the insightful Insight Politics articles.
Everything on The BFD is helpfully organised by category, so you can browse all the articles on American politics, for example.
If you enjoy doing quizzes there are plenty for you to choose from.
There are the FREE quizzes
And the member-only Quizzes.
The holiday period is also a great time for you to master using the search function on the website. Look for the magnifying glass icon at the top right of the home page.
Click on the magnifying glass icon to make the search box appear.
Type in your keyword (I used Judith as my example) and then all articles with that keyword in them will appear underneath in a list.
Do you have a favourite BFD author? Have you noticed that up the top of the home page you can click where it says AUTHORS to get a drop-down list of all the regular BFD authors? You can then select your favourites in order to browse everything that they have written for The BFD.
Do you enjoy political cartoons and photoshops? You can browse all the cartoons and photoshops as well.
From all the team at The BFD I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thank you so much for reading and supporting The BFD.
It is our pleasure to provide you with a Brash, Focused and Dedicated site for news, views and social commentary on issues, locally and around the world, that matter to you.
