Top Posts of 2018

Remember the old fable of the ant and the grasshopper? The grasshopper played all summer while the ant worked to store food... and in the end the ant survived the winter while the grasshopper starved.

I felt a bit like the social media ant this year.

I made a formal effort to post more this year. It's been productive but the effort reinforced the need to think ahead and build a backlog of content to cover those days/weeks where I was tired or out of ideas. Thank you Brian Conner for getting me to think in terms of editorial calendars.

In any case, it looks like I'll make it through winter. So I'd like to share my horde of posts from this year. Enjoy!
