Quite frequently, as a blogger, I'm surprised to see what does - and doesn't - attract readers. It's not always predictable!
My top post of the year was a tribute to my Great-Grandfather, Samuel:
Grandpa's Last Will & Testament |
Another surprise hit was about my Christian Faith:
Orthodox Christian Icon Alphabet |
I fully expected this post to be popular - and it was. People tend to like tech tips : )
How and Why I use Scheduled Posts on Blogger |
But these two were a total shock! Who knew that upcycling & reusing would interest so many people?
Upcycling the Vinegar Jug |
About that Coffee Cup |
My individual recipes seldom attract much attention on their own (although some of them are steady producers of hits), but my menus featuring them are a perennial favorite - as evidenced by FIVE super-popular menus this year. I guess people just love variety : )
Winter Week Menu |
Chinese New Year Week's Menu |
Vegan Valentine Treats |
Lenten & Omnivore Week's Menu |
Mexican Week of Meals |
Holy Week Menu |
And, Homeschooling Resources are often quite popular
History & Geography Fun Homeschool Video Day |
Rethinking Learning Styles |
Math Homeschool Fun Video Day |
English Homeschool Fun Video Day |
Multiplication Quick Tricks Memory Song |
But, invariably, there's a post or two in a year that I EXPECT to be hugely popular that for some reason doesn't attract attention. In past years, those posts have turned out to be "late bloomers" - attracting little attention when first published, but later becoming hits. That's my hope for my "Stir & Pour Bread Variety" Series. I mean, seriously, who can pass up a homemade yeast bread variety that's easier to make than Just-Add-Water Pancakes? Time will tell, but here's hoping this one will "bloom" later!

I hope you have a Wonderful, Blessed 2018!

Thanks so much for doing this! I somehow missed the "coffee cup" post and was so glad you brought it up. I couldn't agree more. Love your recipes.
ReplyDeleteThese recipes are great I am going to try them all!#ourminilinkyparty@_karendennis
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day to have a birthday day. Jan 7th is old calendar Christmas, I bet God knew your Great Grandfather Samuel was a special person.
ReplyDeleteBy far my favorite was how to schedule posts!! I now have most of my posts scheduled a good week in advance and have it found it life changing. Thanks for sharing with us at Love to Learn. Pinned.
