Comments on: The best posts of 2009 http://earlyretirementextreme.com/the-best-posts-of-2009.html --- a combination of simple living, anticonsumerism, DIY ethics, self-reliance, and applied capitalism Fri, 25 May 2012 19:02:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jacob http://earlyretirementextreme.com/the-best-posts-of-2009.html/comment-page-1#comment-8470 Jacob Fri, 01 Jan 2010 06:43:32 +0000 http://earlyretirementextreme.com/?p=2532#comment-8470 @brauhster - Tough to say, I my output is about 80% of the probloggers, I write about 5-6 posts per week. Also, I don't spend a whole lot of time editing and making the posts look pretty. What you see it typically the first draft. I rarely edit or move paragraphs around. If you catch a post right after I publish it you might even notice grammatical errors or copyediting errors, which I fix when I subsequently see them. IOW writing a blog post takes less than an hour, closer to half that. So well-crafted, no ... but I think I can say that many posts are somewhat original without sounding conceited.

Your posts are consistently good, so the recap is a handy way to see the "big picture." I am looking forward to your further insights in 2010. Godt Nytar, Jacob!

I should probably change the title to "Awesome posts of 2009" to downgrade the adjective superlatives a bit 8-) Incidentally, your comment looks suspiciously like some of the comments on previous best posts posts ;-) I use these lists to make it easier to find posts I may want to refer back to the in the future, so the main criteria for exclusion is whether it was timely. These lists seem popular for the reason that some do not read all the posts and thus having a long list makes it easier to go back and read the missed issues. It also saves you from having to ignore weekly roundups. @Ademac – Maybe “best” is exaggerating by a bit.
