A year of great conversations

Today marks the first anniversary of this blog when I switched to WordPress after being with TypePad since 2004.

Over 660 posts with more than 2,670 comments and trackbacks during the past twelve months. Phew! That’s a lot of chat and a pretty good signal-to-noise ratio. It includes some great conversations – take a look at the ’10 most commented posts’ list in the sidebar to see some of those conversations.

It also includes (rather, excludes) well over 27,000 spam comments and trackbacks that were blocked by Akismet over the past year. As I’ve said before, what would we do without Akismet?

Thanks to everyone who has joined in with the conversations here and linked from elsewhere. Looking forward to another twelve months of your company!
