Happy New Year to everyone! Most blogs this time of year publish a list of their most popular content from throughout the year. I thought it would be nice to do the same hear on GeoPrac. So, without further adieu...

The most popular GeoPrac.net GeoNews and Article Items of 2007 (in order of popularity) are...

Some of the popular ones were slightly surprising to me, but if anything is clear it is that people really seem to appreciate the original (and republished) technical articles. I have certainly taken note of that, and in 2008 I will try to step up my efforts to solicit articles from our colleagues. I have some more reflections on the first calendar year of GeoPrac.net and some goals for the new year that I'll share with you all in a separate post. Again, Happy New Year, and thanks for visiting GeoPrac.net!
