Goodbye 2022!

Top blogs

New blogger

This year, Tomislav Fučkar joined the DirTeam.com / ActiveDir.org Weblogs as an author. He writes about his Croatian experiences.

Top blog posts

Unsurprisingly, the top 10 blogposts for 2022 is also dominated by blog posts by Sander Berkouwer, but you can find two blogposts by Dave Stork in this list:
