This is a bit late, but I figure that it’s better than never.

See 2008 Year In Review for previous round up.

2008 Year In Review

I started blogging in late 2007, so I didn't compile a "Year in Review" post. I've broken the post into two main categories: Blogging and Life. The Blogging section will detail some of the statistics collected over 2008. The Life section will include a bit more about what I've done over the last 12 months.
