With the end of the year right around the corner, I decided to dedicate a post to my favorite websites of the year. At first I wanted to do a list of 10 choices, but after looking through the 100's of posts that I've done throughout the year I had to up that total to 25. Depending on feedback, I might do a top 100 or 50 if there is a demand.
