2011 Writing Roundup

This past year was the year that I really put pen to paper and spent a lot of time writing guest posts for a variety of blogs and sites.  It was an exercise in writing styles, research methods, link building, and developing my blogging voice.  Some pieces came naturally (anything about community management and social media) and others were tough, but rewarding. I'm thankful and honored that all of these blogs allowed me to guest post on their site, and look forward to writing more in 2012 (and sharing it more frequently than once a year).
