Here at ProBlogger I publish quite a few articles (95 this month) – so I thought that in 2008 I’d attempt to summarize the most popular ones at the end of each month as a service to those of you who may not have had time to read each post.
The way I’ll collate them will be slightly differently t the ‘best of ProBlogger’ area on the front page of the site but it’ll be largely based upon page views and comments:
Most Popular Post at ProBlogger – January 2008
