Blog Roundup: 2011 Posting Highlights

The switch to WordPress in late May has really seen the blog grow. We have had 13205 hits since then (as of 11 pm 12/30/11 that is) and average over 2000 a month, or 70 hits a day. Thanks for that support and interest. I wanted to take a look back at the highlights of the blog this past six months since the move. Several posts have gonna pretty viral by my standards so perhaps people would like to visit them who haven’t or even revisit them again. Here’s the top 20 posts. Please feel free to revisit this stories but also please consider leaving comments about what you like about this website and suggestions for how we can improve. We’re doing our best to serve you well and anything you can offer us as feedback just helps us do it better.

Sadly but unsurprisingly, the least popular were some passion posts about things I really care about but not really writing focused, and the Links of the Week posts, generally, just didn’t excite anyone, so I stopped bothering to compile the links I tweeted each week but if anyone’s curious, you can click the links below.
