2008: Best Articles of the Year
You had to know this was coming… everybody does it at the end of the year. I did the same type of post last year, and I think it's a good idea to touch back on some of the more important articles and discussions. Once again, I'm excited to see how far we've all come in just one year and I'm equally excited for the next year. Epic Edits has been online for almost 2 years now, and I'm truly thankful for the community that has formed here. A big thanks to all the regulars, the commentators, and the supporters — without you guys, this place would be nothing.
The thing that always amazes me about the community here on the blog is how diverse the group really is. We have everything from beginner to professional, film to digital, and we come from every corner of the globe. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to collaborate with.
Now for you stats junkies… In the course of this last year, we’ve had about 1,400,000 pageviews, 800,000 visitors, and 640,000 unique visitors! In the lifespan of the blog, we've had about 2,200,000 pageviews, 1,300,000 visitors, and 1,100,000 unique visitors! We’re also up to about 4,600 RSS subscribers, which isn't bad considering we had less than 2,000 at the same time last year.
OK, so 2008 is pretty much over and we're heading into 2009. Here is a selection of articles from the last year that you ought to check out.
