2009 was an absolutely amazing year for me. When I launched The EMT Spot one year ago this month, I had big ideas and big plans, but I never imagined the people I would encounter in the blogsphere and beyond. I didn’t anticipate the interactions with readers or the volume of visitors the site would receive. I didn’t plan on the support or the encouragement or the stream of emails from individuals saying, “We love it … keep it up.” In January of last year, the site received around 300 visitors (I wasn’t keeping official track until March.) During those early months, blogging often felt like talking to myself in an empty room. I often wondered if I should be medicated. (The question is still unresolved.) March was the first month that we broke 1,000 unique visitors. Then things started to take off. By December we were coming ever-so-close to a mind-blowing 10,000 unique visitors per month. Sometimes, I close by eyes and picture what a room full of 10,000 people looks like. I’ve never spoken to a crowd that large and sometimes I contemplate that image while I’m spell-checking my latest post. One thing that hasn’t changed is my motivation to keep putting out useful content and my big plans for the future. At this moment, my first e-book is being poured over by my editorial team and my graphic designer. The book will be offered right here for free and I expect to have it available by mid-month. I’m also starting work on my first feature product. A tool designed to address the single biggest problem I’m approached with here online. For more details on both of these projects, you’ll just have to be patient and watch for more. Much of what made 2009 such an exceptional year had to do with you, my faithful readers and for that, I sincerely thank you. I am humbled by your presence here and your gracious attention. Without further ado, here are my picks for my favorite posts of 2009
