I didn’t have any specific goals for the website last year other than ‘more traffic’, which is probably why the Martha.net subblog meandered from topic to topic without getting much done.
Most of the posts had to do with beating the Mystique theme into shape—which proved to be much harder than intended (and why I’ve got ‘build my own theme’ as this year’s goal).
With luck next year’s review will be tilted in favor of the ‘how to do what I did’ posts as opposed to ‘what I’m going to do.’ *kicks code*

The first post here is still one of my favorite blog tweaks—there’s nothing quite as much fun as stumbling over an old post you’d forgotten about. It’s one of the reasons I’m trying so hard to make the website easy to navigate!
