Best of How to be an Original in 2007

2007 was the first year of How to be an Original. Also the first year for me as a blogger. It’s been a great year and I learned a lot!

I learned a lot about blogging. In the first two months already, I learned that I wanted to switch from a hosted site (Typepad) to a self-hosted site on Wordpress. But I learned a lot about social media and internet marketing as well. I learned about the dynamics of the blogosphere and the people in it and what a nice bunch of people they are!

On a technical level, I learned a lot too. I learned html, php, css to build my theme. I learned how to manage and upgrade Wordpress and the plugins. I learned how to change DNS-records to redirect certain addresses to other sites or services (like Feedburner).

And last, but not least, I learned a lot about goal setting and personal development. I have also learned Neuro Linguistic Programming and how to use language and specific questions to solve problems and find resources within. I have learned about living my own legend and what it is that makes me happy and passionate. And most of all, I learned how writing about it accelerates the learning process.

And I would also like to thank you! I’m thrilled that there are so many readers, over 500 already and the number is growing. I love your feedback and I’m very happy with the new people I have met through blogging and through you.

And now a not so random overview of posts per month. Only a small selection for every month, but they are posts that I thought were worth mentioning. For a complete overview you can always visit the archives.
