Adiós al 2014. Bienvenida del 2015 (balance de un año y nuevos proyectos)

Estos últimos días con la llegada del fin de año y el comienzo del próximo año, son múltiples las entradas, los post de facebook y twitter que se han dedicado a hacer un resumen del próximo año 2014 y de escribir los nuevos própositos para el próximo año 2015. 
En Estaidea queremos no ser menos y vamos a hacer un resumen de lo que hemos hecho este año en este blog y de lo que esperamos hacer para el próximo. 

Este año hemos publicado 278 entradas (unas cuantas menos que el año anterior) siendo el mes de Abril, Julio y Agosto los que menos entradas hemos publicado y el mes de Septiembre el más productivo. La verdad es que este año ha sido duro muchas tareas profesionales y una nueva afición senderista han hecho menos productiva la faceta de bloguera, sin embargo los mensajes recibidos en Septiembre como el de Rafael o la consulta sobre becas predoctorales me animarón a no abandonar esta tarea que tanto me ilusiona.
