6 Unforgettable Blog Posts of 2011 (about blogging)

I was browsing the year-end edition of a local entertainment magazine. It listed 50 top movies for the year 2011. I was going through each movie title counting out how many movies I had seen from that list (by the way, I am a movie fanatic!). While some titles were familiar, there were a few that I had to really think for a few seconds to figure out whether I have watched it. Indeed some movies are instantly forgettable; they fail to leave any sort of impression what so ever! Then there are memorable stories that you can’t forget. You even dream about these story lines while you sleep!


The same applies to blogging. Through out this year, we’ve read thousands of blog posts. How many of those blog posts really stood out? Here are a few blog posts about blogging that I’ve come across and really cemented a place in my mind. What are the most memorable posts you’ve read this year? Let me know in the comments.
