I&#8217;ve come a long way since <a href=http:\/\/highlyallochthonous.blogspot.com\/2005\/09\/endings-and-beginnings.html>my first post<\/a>, and even since <a href=http:\/\/highlyallochthonous.blogspot.com\/2006\/10\/one-year-on.html>this time last year<\/a>; I certainly did not expect to be marking this anniversary as a member of Scienceblogs (a fairly minor one to be sure, but I still think it&#8217;s pretty cool). So who knows what next year will bring &#8211; I can only hope that I continue to improve as a writer, and that people keep on reading and commenting.<br \/>\nBy way of a retrospective this year, I thought that this would be a good time to consider what, if anything, I should submit for this year&#8217;s <a href=http:\/\/openlab.wufoo.com\/forms\/submission-form\/>Science Blogging Anthology<\/a>. However, since I find self-assessment rather difficult, I thought that I might prevail on you &#8211; the readers &#8211; to help me out. I&#8217;d like to know what you&#8217;d consider to be my best posts from the past nine months. Consider it a birthday present &#8211; and, as it was my actual birthday on Friday too, a virtual replacement for those beers y&#8217;all would be buying me if we were on the same continent.<br \/>\nAs a starting point, here are a few posts which either seemed particularly popular, or that I was particularly proud of:<br \/>\n<UL><br \/>\n<LI><a href=https:\/\/all-geo.org\/highlyallochthonous\/2007\/03\/seismic-triggering-of-volcanic-eruptions-from-darwin-to-today\/>Seismic triggering of volcanic eruptions: from Darwin to today<\/a><\/LI><br \/>\n<LI><a href=https:\/\/all-geo.org\/highlyallochthonous\/2007\/03\/why-earth-centrics-are-always-going-to-be-surprised\/>Why Earth-centrics are always going to be surprised<\/a><\/LI><br \/>\n<LI><a href=https:\/\/all-geo.org\/highlyallochthonous\/2007\/03\/geological-basics-the-difference-between-chronology-and-stratigraphy\/>Geological Basics: the difference between chronology and stratigraphy<\/a><\/LI><br \/>\n<LI><a href=https:\/\/all-geo.org\/highlyallochthonous\/2007\/06\/journey-to-the-bottom-of-the-cambrian\/>Journey to the bottom of the Cambrian<\/a><\/LI><br \/>\n<LI><a href=https:\/\/all-geo.org\/highlyallochthonous\/2007\/07\/where-the-moon-was-at-3-2-billion-years-ago\/>Where the Moon was at, 3.2 billion years ago<\/a><\/LI><br \/>\n<LI><a href=https:\/\/all-geo.org\/highlyallochthonous\/2007\/09\/of-aftershocks-and-tsunamis\/>Of aftershocks and tsunamis<\/a><\/LI><br \/>\n<\/UL><br \/>\nHowever, if <em>you<\/em> enjoyed something else I&#8217;ve written better, please let me know what, and (if possible) why.
