Website Magazine editors and writers have published well over 1,000 posts on our blog this year (not to mention hundreds of articles in our print magazine). 2011 has been another banner year for us, so thank you to the Website Magazine community. We've (once again) broken all our records – in website traffic and revenue – but we know that our success would not be possible without you – readers, advertisers and partners – so, once again we greatly appreciate your patronage.
With terabytes of content published every day, it's not uncommon for some gems to slip by from time to time. Website Magazine has picked out the top 100 posts from 2011, which you will find below. A lot of ground is covered in these 100 content items, and while you may not have an opportunity to get through them all, there is definitely something in there for everyone.
Next week, Website Magazine will publish a list of the most popular articles appearing in our print magazine from 2011 – so stay tuned.
Don't forget that Website Magazine is currently offering a 25% discount on professional-level subscriptions (that's 60% off the cover price!). It's a perfect gift for yourself, your colleagues and your clients, and the best part is that you'll gain instant access to the complete archive of magazine issue content dating back to 2005.
