As the New Year officially kicked off, bloggers rang out the old and rang in the new across the blogosphere with some awesome posts…

One of my favorites is the Happy New Year illustration to the right, designed by Trevor Romain. Trevor is an author and illustrator for childrens books, and describes himself as “Monty Python meets Dr. Seuss at Jerry Seinfeld’s house in Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”… and he also has a heavily illustrated Thought For The Day blog that is a must-see.

Another must-see is The Best of Copyblogger in 2007 by Brian Clark. Going back through each month of 2007, Brian gives you a glimpse into the top posts at CopyBlogger.com and a cool overview of the topics throughout the year.
