Greatest Hits (Blog Marathon 2.1) #91

Now I know the original plan was for a mere 30 blogs in 30 days, but somehow that quickly morphed into a whopping 90 blogs in 30 days. It sounded good in theory, but I realized later that it was a bit overwhelming for some of my readers and probably scared a few folks off. In fact, I lost a handful of subscribers over the past four weeks, but such is life. (Come back, pleaseeee! LOL

So with all the damn blogging and folks trying to keep up and failing miserably I figured I’d scale back to the original 30 blogs concept by presenting my 15 Greatest Hits and my 15 Greatest Misses from the marathon. Think of it like Jay-Z’s Blueprint 2.1, where he compacted his double album into one succinct disc with his best material. The Hits are the 15 posts that got the most comments and feedback, and the Misses are the ones that were really good (in my humble opinion) but got lost in the shuffle.

So without further ado, here’s Pt. 1 of The Blog Marathon 2.1: The Greatest Hits
