IDEAS FOR THIS BLOG
I thought it would be interesting to see what the DNs accomplished in January of last year, to compare it to what they are trying to achieve this year - have they progressed, is their approach totally different, etc?
Furthermore would it be even more interesting to see what they hoped to accomplish for each month last year, versus what they achieved? The purpose of doing this would be to motivate the DNs, to challenge them. However, in case some Nodpots would find this uninspiring, we have decided to put it to a vote.
Therefore please vote on our poll, and let us know what you think!

HIGHLIGHTS OF 2007
After the DNOTY meeting at the end of the year, I asked the DNs for their highlights of 2007. Here are some of their answers:
Valpot (DNOTY '07): Winning the Nodpot of the Year, of course. It's the absolute highlight - I couldn't wish for anything more! Of course, having an article accepted for publication was also a great occasion. Other writing highlights include a very successful DN conference and a great 10th anniversary celebration.
Inkpot (DNOTY '04 & '05): Shooting on the DN 10th anniversary... The Fight to Write Conference.. And many more.
Mungo (DNOTY '06): Just everything! The Kingdom of Animals competition. The Conference was good, so was The Five Muses.
Marvin: Valerie winning DNOTY '07 - about time too.
Parsley: I really enjoyed the Fight to Write Conference, but I really agree with Marvin about Valpot winning, about time.
Sparkie: Getting a gavel and being nominated for DNOTY '07
October & November: Being nominated for DNOTY. Also starting a wonderful blog.
Blueberry: No highlights
All the best for 2008, Nodpots! I look forward to hearing how you are getting on for a little while longer, anyway!
