Typos:
That said, I am pleased to announce, for the first time every, (should be ever)
For be notified of newsletters automatically (should that be "To be" ?)
It’s been a real pleasure working with, and getting to know, some of you in 2012. (working with is a dangling preposition it hink. how about replacing with just the word collaborating)
That's just your announcement though.
As for the newsletter...
Found what looks like a wrap/grammer issue "The compe- tition" competition. unless you were trying to make it like it was a comp-e-Tition. or some weird spelling with the 'e' meme in it. Also, I'd darken your signature just a tad, so its easier to see.
One annoyance for me was since Chrome opened the PDF in browser, links didn't go to a new window, but were necessarily opened in the same window. That was a bit annoying.
I also was surprised that the tiles at the left didn't link to their location on the page. But that's not a black swan or anything.
The underlined link for "New Performance Test Blogging & Competition" doesn't actually seem to go anywhere.
I think that was all I saw.
