With two days remaining in 2008, it’s time to go back and see what worked and what didn’t, and what 2009 will bring. There were a lot more posts published than they were in launch year 2007. Traffic is up by 21%, and more people are joining in on conversations. ^_^ The Outlook for 2009 [...]

The posterzine includes posters (of course) from Bleach, along with a few extra goodies.
