At the end of each year I like to look back and see which blog posts got the most attention.
Because I've been at this for nine years, it's not all that surprising that only a small number of current year posts make the count, (marked below with an *.) Most are from years ago, but continue to be favourites.
In total, my three blogs had just over 101,000 page views in 2016, according to Google Analytics, and with nine years of blog posts to read, that stretches pretty thin. There are a number of clear winners, though.
Top of the heap is my post about Ken Leishman - The Flying Bandit from This Was Winnipeg wayyyyyy back in 2008. It appears at or near the top of the list every year and in 2016 was by far the most read post from all of my blogs.
Thanks to everyone who has checked out my blogs in the past year. There's more to come in 2017!
