456 Berea Street highlights of 2007

Time for the annual look back at what I’ve written here during the year that is almost at an end. I’ve been doing this recap since 2004, and it’s always interesting to browse through my archives looking for articles that received many comments, were linked to a lot, or caused a bit of discussion. I always run into one or two that I had almost forgotten about.

This year I haven’t posted quite as many articles as the previous couple of years. I simply haven’t had the time to write. It is partly due to the size of my family being increased in June – having a baby to take care of consumes a lot of time and energy, though it’s also a lot of fun. I have also been very busy building websites at my dayjob. So busy that when I get home I don’t feel particularly excited about spending another couple of hours in front of the computer.

Anyway, I have managed to write a few articles that I think are worth reminding regular readers about and pointing new readers to. Not as many as some years, but enough to keep you occupied for a little while if you read them all, including the comments.

Thanks for reading, everybody! Here’s the list:

And while you read those articles I’ll be taking a couple of weeks off from working, blogging, and responding to email. Instead I will be spending some time with my family and my game consoles.

See you next year!

    You, Roger, you really kick ass. I’m a regular visitor of your blog from 3 months only, but since then I’ve read a huge quantity of your old articles.

    Thanks for inspiring, for all good practices you teach us, for remembering what web professional means.

    Merry christmas and Happy New Year from Bulgaria. Radoslav

    Roger, congratulations and thanks for all your excellent articles (even if I fail completely to see how you can have trouble reading light-on-dark when it’s proven to be easier). I’ve learned a lot and continue to be amazed at how flawlessly and stylishly you write compared to most of us Anglos. Disgustingly impressive.

    PS: Fix your Google ad bar, which overflows its container in my Firefox (1024px width, default font 13px but nothing else changed).
