The end of the year is looming and I find myself writing up another final post in another ManageWP series — our top WordPress posts of the month. Throughout 2012 I have tweeted out, linked to and mentioned literally hundreds of posts relating to WordPress. With that in mind I thought I’d take this opportunity to list my posts of the year.
