As 2008 draws to a close, many bloggers have begun to look to the future, set goals for the next year, resolve to work hard in the next year, and develop blog development strategies and plans.
While it's good to start the New Year with a plan for your blog, I personally think it's important to start by taking stock of the past, which can help us plan for the future.
The downside of looking only into the future is that we tend to ignore the lessons we've learned and fail to apply them to the future of blogging.
