We have covered some great topics this year for our weekend projects. If you did not do some of them then I suggest you look back a the top 10 and add them to your things to do in 2009…
1. Make Your Site iPhone Friendly - With over 2 million phones users now surfing the Internet you should make sure your site is iPhone ready.Â
2. Favorite Icon - Add a favorite icon to your site so that when people bookmark your site it will make it easier for them to find later. Also it can help with branding.
3. Securing Folders - I have seen some friends not read and follow this tutorial. You always think it will happen to another person but if you do not keep up with security on your site you can be a victim of phishing, defacing and many other things.
4. GeoIP Country Redirect - Redirect users based on their IP to a particular Country specific page. This will help you with online sales and targeting your content.
5. Link Check - Check your site links to ensure there are no broken links. Broken links can effect your site ranking in search engines.
6. 404 Pages - Are you loosing visitors because you use a generic 404 page? You would be surprised how much traffic you could be loosing.
7. Social Backlinks - Social Media is the new SEO. To get started this project will help you find the various social sites and get backlinks.
8. Log Check - Reviewing your logs will reveal a lot of things you may not know about your site and your visitors.
9. Email Signature - Generate traffic to your site by adding an email signature to every email you send out.
10. Geotagging Your Site - As we have entered into a world where pictures, people, articles and almost everything is tagged you should geotag your site to ensure that search engines can use those details for future.

Thanks for the post (found via twitter).
I need to do some of these more often, particularly securing folders.
