And The Award Goes To - Tamar Weinberg (Yeeeeaaahhhh!)

Who??

OK. So this isn't the Oscars or BAFTAs or the Sundance Film Festival or even Cannes – damn! But the best blog post of 2007 has to go to a wee girl from New York called Tamar Weinberg. Who, and this is no mean feat, has put together a list of more than 250 of the best, most useful, most brilliant and most timeless blog posts of 2007.

Now then. There are lots of great blog posts out there: The art of polystyrene cement; Total & complete plastering; Traffic Jams: The quantum mechanics; Kit homes in 20 minutes; Your First Spacewalk - a beginner's guide; Caravanning for cool people; Hot tips for septic tanks; Flat fish - the future... The list is endless.

But Tamara's list, unlike the one above, is a carefully researched series of business critical blog posts that impart useful, practical, professional information you can use in real life covering subjects including internet marketing, viral strategies, reputation management, search engine optimisation, web development and pay per click.

So go to her blog now: Techipedia. You won’t be disappointed!
