As regular readers know, this month marks the ninth anniversary of this blog (you can see a list of the “all-time” most popular posts during that time here).
And many readers are familiar with my regularly updated lists of “all-time” favorite sites (you can see them at All Of My “All-Time” Best Lists In One Place!).
Every six months, I also make lists of my favorites posts and articles during those periods (you can see them all here).
I thought it would be appropriate for me to take a look at those favorite lists and share “my favorites of my favorites.”
