I started this blog in June of this year with the article about how to create a custom page title in Joomla! 1.0.x. After a couple of articles, I took a brake while on vacation. But when I returned, I started writing articles in August again.

This blog now has almost 100 articles, around 400 feed subscribers and over 1000 comments. I think this is pretty good for someone that hasn't had a blog before, didn't know anything about SEO or Social Bookmarking. I just wanted to share my knowledge, fun and interesting things with the world.

I created an alphabetic list of my own favorite articles from 2007. I'm checking these articles often because of the interesting resources or just for fun. Which article of mine did you like the most or through which article did you get here? Of course you can expect more high-quality, interesting and fun articles from me in 2008! You can view all articles I've written on the sitemap.

Have a happy, safe and nice new year's eve.
