Happy Holidays

Posted by Daniel Stout on Mon 24 Dec 2007 at 8:15 AM

I hope you have the opportunity to spend the holiday with friends & family. It’s an exciting time of the year, especially for the kids. Just to recap the year, I thought I’d share with you the top 10 (by traffic) posts from the year.

1. Hot Pink Deal (Seagate 6 GB Pocket Drive for $30)
2. Typographic Beauty
3. Google Apps: full-featured email and more solution
4. Smashing Magazine smacks it down on CSS
5. Glyn’s modest proposal
6. 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2006
7. The Writing University
8. Freeform Faust’s playlist for March 10, 2007
9. Thoughts on Music
10. Go to college on Sub Pop’s “Loser Scholarship”

By the looks of it, March was a good month on the blog. The highest traffic months of the year were June and July, with July topping out at about 160,000 page views. That coincides with my June project, which I called 30 Poems in 30 Days. It was just like it sounds: I wrote a poem a day for the month of June. That was a fun project. It was a lot of work, and it turned out well.

I hope your 2008 is pleasant and fruitful.

Update: Since the Top 10 skewed so heavily to posts in March, I thought I’d take another slice of data: the top 3 posts from each month. So here goes.
