2007 Post Roundup
I'm in the process of analyzing my blogging strategies and practices. As part of the process, I'm doing a post roundup for this blog. I did a 2007 post roundup for my Book Share blog and it helped me get a bird's-eye view of my post content. Seeing my posts at a glance, helps me both rekindle the year and spot patterns for improvement. With the benefit of 20/20 hind-sight, I then carry the lessons forward. Here's my 2007 posts at a glance:
