My Obligatory Post On My Most Clicked Posts From 2014

I believe that it is written somewhere in the "Blogger Rulebook" that if you are a blogger you are obligated to highlight your most viewed posts from the year.  It is an interesting reflective exercise to see what caught the attention of others.  While I blog about things that strike me as interesting, it is reassuring to see that others sometimes agree.

Best to all for a great 2015! Blog on!

Let's face it, there is no perfect device. The best device is the one that works best for the individual. If something works well for you, then you should use it. Of course, we always have to be on the lookout for tweaks to our workflow that can make us more productive.
