For the statistics freaks and other curious ones for whom the little stats section in the lower half of the sidebar isn’t enough, there’s now* a separate, extensive statistics page, always reachable from said sidebar section.
(Please add comments/questions about specific statistics on the statistics page.)

My blog carnival “Music of the Year 2007” is closed – thanks to all 16 participants.
I had asked:
- Your song of the year?
- Your album of the year?
- Your live concert of the year?
(Alternatively, if you weren’t at a noteworthy concert: Live album/DVD of the year.)Preferrably, it should be new releases of 2007, but if you came across something older and like that more than any new stuff, that’s also okay.
Quite varying music tastes have shown up – partly even at the same blogger – and even though I personally don’t like all of the mentioned music, it was actually interesting to listen to the songs and albums that were mentioned (some linked directly, some via YouTube searches etc.).
I can’t really create a hit list – but there were two clear winners:
I might create a special award to send to these two, but I think they’d laugh at me at best. 
Following is the alphabetical list of all participants – some mentioned more than one, some runners-up (in fine print, which caused the “half” counts above). On the bloggers’ posts (all German), there are sometimes also links to videos or homepages and explanations:
Translation for this blog carnival entry about blogging will follow in the next days.
Der Webmaster Watchblog* wüsste in seiner Blog-Parade gerne was über die Grundlagen meines Geblogges hier:
Und ich möchte auch noch mal auf meine Blog-Parade “Musik des Jahres 2007” hinweisen…
Nachtrag: Die Veranstalter haben die » ausführliche Auswertung mit Grafiken und Zusammenfassung fertiggestellt – es hatten genau 100 Blogs teilgenommen, siehe Teilnehmerliste (seid’s mir net bös, wenn ich hier nicht 100 Links poste…).
Don’t worry, I won’t start a quarrel – I just replaced old Pope Gregory XIII, who used to adorn, blue vignetted, my header and my comments, with my own portrait – in the same blue oval, of course:
Update 5 Jan: The little 80×15 buttons are updated now, too:
Just to make it more personal here. Your opinion?
My portrait in header/comments?

Loading ... Alright, now I’m conducting a blog carnival (what’s that?) of my own – with three little questions about which music you liked best this ending year:
Preferrably, it should be new releases of 2007, but if you came across something older and like that more than any new stuff, that’s also okay. And I don’t mind if you write a little more about your choices, of course, but you don’t have to, a simple list is enough.
If you want to participate, write – as usual for blog carnivals – a post on your own blog (you can use the graphic above if you like) and inform me (and the other readers) via trackback/pingback or, if that doesn’t work, a manual comment to this post here; the carnival ends on 14 January 2008, and I’ll analyze the results afterwards, of course.
I’m curious to see what will be mentioned…
My own favorites are:
