2009 is almost over so that means it’s time for a yearly review! I like to do these sorts of posts because it’s a great opportunity to re-introduce old, forgotten about content in one handy collection. For those who are in a hurry, it’s a quick way to catch up on a blog. Below are the most popular posts from each quarter so if you’ve missed any, this will be a great opportunity to read the highlights.
Looking forward to 2010, early next year I will be putting up a new blog design (it’s something I’ve paid for this time so hopefully it will look that bit more professional) and releasing the Best Of 2007 book that I promised a couple of weeks back. I’m also wanting to expand the number of guests posts I publish at Organize IT. Having regularly written here for over three years now, it’s sometimes difficult to come up with fresh ideas, so I’ve decided that having other people contribute will help provide alternative, refreshing perspectives to my own. If you are interested in doing a guest post then check out this page for full deails.
2009 has been a great year for me personally and for this blog. I’d like to thank all my readers for continuing to stick by Organize IT and help make it the success it is. I’ll be back to my regular posting schedule next week, but in the meantime, have a great new year and see you in 2010!
