The Web Tips team continues a tradition: a year-end roundup of our favorite tips. The idea is to put together a list of the most useful tips, sites, and columns from the past year so that you can have them all in one place. You’ll find mine below. Jon Dube will publish his favorite tips next week.
A big thank you and season’s greetings to Poynter readers — we rely on you for tips and feedback to do our work.
Here are my favorite tips:
