The Happy New Year Thread for 2009

[Woz]

The Scottish have a New Year's saying - Lang may yer lum reek!, which translates as "Long may your chimney smoke!" The concept is that if your chimney is smoking there is coal for the fire and all is well with the home and its family.

As time goes on and the older members of the family pass on, the importance of family unit, both close and extended, and the preciousness of the moment becomes ever so more apparent. Time is short, make the most of it with your loved ones.

So, from my family, and the greater WebmasterWorld family, to you and your family, Lang may yer lum reek!

Hehe, no, it's "Wi' ither folks coal!", but then, who's counting?

Woz sleep now.

Happy New Year, whatever part of the world you're in.

Happy New Year to all webmasters. The web continues to evolve. I worry about how consumers continue to move away from small business to larger, well-known online "brand names."

I can't blame them--as the news reminds us every day, we know there are a lot of bad actors in the world. It's good to deal with people you know.

The "good" news for many people here, of course, is that if you have been in business for five or more years, then you are something of a proven brand. Those established web sites who can offer (and communicate that) real value could do OK this year.

May You All Earn More $$$$$ This Year than ever before ;)

2008 was mostly dodgy, but ended on a high note for me, and the New Year looks promising.

I hope everyone has a good year and remembers the most important thing:

Any year, no matter how bad things get, is still a good year if it includes a loving family and loyal friends. Money is just numbers on a scorecard.
