2020 was . . . different.

In January, I unveiled a new look for this blog, which had not been updated in 10 years.

Our office closed in March to help contain COVID-19. We are fortunate to have the technological capability to work remotely, so the disruption to our clients was minimal.

We returned to the office with the arrival of warmer weather.

We adjusted. Many client meetings and consultations occurred via videoconference. I completed my first trial conducted over Zoom, which was cool. In-person meetings were replaced with videoconferences.

My annual review seminar continued but over Zoom instead of in person. If you missed the live presentation, click here to see it.

Despite all the craziness, I kept my regular posting schedule—Monday, Wednesday, photograph on Friday—and published 159 posts.

Traffic to the blog increased by 15% over 2019.

Here are the 10 most popular posts of 2020:
