Top 10 Hits and Misses for 2011
Top 10 hits and misses for 2011
This marks my one year anniversary for the blog that is my aggregation of all the blogs I webmaster for. I didn’t expect much because I don’t promote it. It’s used as a location potential agents, publishers, clients can get an overview of what I’ve written. As a result, I’m curious to see which of the many threads drew the most readers.
Here are the top 10 posts for the year 2011:
- Click the Square; Create Music (my tech blog)
- How Did Homo erectus Differ as a Species 800,000 ya? (my science blog)
- My Character is Sick–How to Show (Not Tell) Some Illnesses (my writer’s blog)

Ask a Tech Teacher got the most views, though not resoundingly. I like that the Book Reviews came in #5. I love writing those, but they don’t seem to get as much traffic as other posts.
