Mac OS X Tips has been around for about a year now, so I thought I'd do a post on the how the past 12 months has gone.

The very first tip, on how to Auto-Tab Bookmarks was posted on the 22 June, 2006. Since then I have added 128 articles, giving an average of 2 or 3 tips posted each week.

Here are the top 10 posts in terms of the number of page views they receive. These are the best tips to check out if you are a new reader.

1. Top 15 Terminal Commands for Hidden Mac OS X Settings
2. Hidden File
3. Address Book Tips
4. Peek inside Mac OS X Packages
5. Another Way to Force Quit
6. Multiple Music Libraries in iTunes 7
7. Set a Screen Saver as the Desktop Background
8. Tips for Deleting Stubborn Files
9. The Ultimate Customize Toolbar Shortcut
10. Get useful system stats in the Mac OS X login window

There is a considerable gap in page views between the top 4 and the rest of the tips, due to those tips being picked up on digg.

My favourite tips are not always the ones that end up being the most popular, however. Some other tips that were more enjoyable to write include Seven Simple Safari Shortcuts, Google Notifier's Hidden Features, Secret advanced editing mode in iPhoto and Make the Most of iPod Notes.

As always, for all 128 tips, check out the Tips Archive.

RSS subscription to the blog has been steadily growing, with some huge jumps recently. The daily subscriber count is now over 1000. Here's a graph showing the number of subscribers each day since September 2006.

The Ask a Question page is currently ensuring my inbox is always nice and full. Recently I have been considering adding a forum to the site. This is because many of the questions/answers aren't suitable for the main blog but would be very useful if they were publicly available. It would also mean I wouldn't get asked the same questions over and over again and other people would be able to submit tips more easily. Leave a comment below if you think this is a good or bad idea, or have any other suggestions for the site.
