What Did Blogging Teach You In 2007?

Blaine Moore is one of the mentors in the Blog Mastermind forums, an experienced blogger and is one of the original readers of this blog. He’s the author of Run To Win, a blog about running marathons and is someone who I really appreciate as an online friend since he helps out so much.

Planning out what you want to do in the new year is made much easier for having known what happened in the past year.

The first time that I wrote a retrospective was part of a Problogger group writing project on reviews and predictions about anything. I chose to write mine on what happened on my site over the previous year and what I expected in the year to come. This year I decided to write another retrospective, and it was interesting to see how accurate my predictions from a year ago had turned out to be.

How old should your site be before you write a retrospective?
