There's a lot left to do for my primary blog, but here's my list of 2007's updates:

1. New logo so people will remember it
2. 8 bloggers post weekly now for a steady flow of content
3. Removed Monthly archives and extra clutter from sidebar
4. Added Recent Comments on the sidebar to promote conversation
