Key Observations

• Six of my top 10 most popular blog posts were written in years past. I think that shows the lasting value of a blog. Either that, or my writing has gotten worse.
• The big hit of the year was my "American Idol Scandal" blog post, which I wrote immediately after the first show of the season. Everyone loves a good scandal. Lightning did not strike twice for my "Last Comic Standing Scandal" post, which is an excellent read.
• Another popular and controversial blog post involved ranking the top pro wrestlers in MMA, which I really need to update now that Brock Lesnar holds the UFC Heavyweight Championship.
• I also wrote some excellent posts that flew under the radar. MMA fans skipped over my insightful "I Think I Could Beat Kimbo Slice" post which correctly predicted Kimbo would lose his next fight. The touching series "Tribute to a Strong Mother" and "Celebrate the Living" shows me at my most vulnerable. The true story of receiving a random check for $100,000 is good for a laugh. And if I get some more response from my "How to be a Comedian" post, I just might finish it.
• I'm considering spinning off two of my most popular sections - funny songs and Selected Hilarity - into separate websites for 2009. I've had great success spinning off my funny employee awards website after initial success on this site.
• My homepage was only the 7th most popular page of my site in 2008. My advice to web designers: consider every page to be your home page and make sure there is a clear call to action on each page of your site.
• I'm planning a huge redesign for Q2 of this year. Stay tuned for some exciting changes coming your way!

The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch - Million Dollar Pitch

One of my big promotional ideas for FunnyEmployeeAwards.com was to appear on CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. I studied the show all year to find out what sort of businesses the producers liked to profile. Then in September the show announced a call for businesses to pitch their Million Dollar Idea. Perfect timing! I set up my camcorder, recorded my 30 second pitch, and sent in the video. And what happened next? The financial markets collapsed, and all talk turned to the economy.

It seemed the World would never see my brilliant pitch. Until now...

Donny, I'm still waiting for your call.
