Best Posts on DanylkoWeb for 2020
With the end of this year coming to a close, it's time to see which posts were the top performers for 2020.
What a year, folks!
At the beginning of this year, I had a number of goals I wanted to achieve for each month. While I finished my January and February goals, "Marchember's" goals never saw the light.
They were partially started, but never finished.
I know I didn't complete a lot of goals this year, but starting them wasn't a bad thing either. So long as it was started, I can always come back to it and examine it, critique it, and refactor as necessary.
But let's look over this year's posts.
Here's the 20 most popular posts from 2020 (in descending order).
