Goals for 2009

• Finally changing / update my template.
  Working on it for some while now, can't finish it.
• Reaching 2500+ RSS subscribers
  End of 2007 I had 400 subscribers.
• Finishing my new project.
  It's a secret for now - be prepared.
• Remembering: Quality above Quantity.
  Past year I placed some articles online "just to post", not thinking about the quality.
• More CSS / jQuery related articles.
  This is pretty interesting and fun to do.
• Getting in touch with Adobe Illustrator

I you would like Marcofolio.net to focus on other stuff, please let me know!

That's all for now. I have nothing left to say except to wish you a safe and joyful new year's eve and I hope to see you back (with all your fingers) in 2009!
