I have a confession to make. I’ve been blogging here on WordPress for several years now and didn’t realize I could go into my stats and identify my posts in order of the number of times they’d been viewed by year.
I kept wondering how fellow bloggers were posting their “best of” retrospectives with such confidence. Were they guessing? Had they kept daily notes? And y’all wonder why I haven’t yet had anything published–I’m overwhelmed by the details of such things.
At any rate once someone pointed me to the right tab I realized I, too, could post a best of 2017 article. Since we’re well into 2018, I’ll just do a list with links rather than reblogging the top five in separate posts. Of course, that’s if I can figure out how to do all that.
Without further ado, here are my top five posts in order:
#5 Not That Desperate

#4 Shipping Label Humor

#3 When in Ireland

#2 Vagina Wars: A New Hope

#1 was my Home Page/Archives with almost 5,000 views this year. Not bad for a blogger who hasn’t figured out what the heck she’s doing here!
Above: irrelevant photo of Elsie Leslie Lyde, a mid-19th century actress. I figured she wouldn’t have figured out the stats tab thing either, plus I liked her name.

Wp used to send you an end of year report but they don’t now. They keep changing things . I wouldn’t know how to get into stats or that any more. xxxxx

On my iPhone I go to stats and click on More. I’m not sure how one would do it on a laptop.

Nope, no “More” on a laptop, and no idea of most bestest post during the year! 🙂

There must be some way to access that data.

I remember that end-of-year report too. I found it interesting to a degree. Statistics in the end really don’t interest me that much I guess. Once I write a post, I generally want to forget about it! 😉 – Marty

I’m sure it would be beyond me, too. The end of year reports were good.

Maybe we should lobby to have them again.
