As I reviewed my blog posts from 2011, I spent quite a bit of time pouring over past articles, comments and statistics. It’s a great way to get a feel for the content Active Rain readers connected with and how I might adjust my message.
Through this process I’ve compiled a list of some of my most widely read posts. The posts are broken down into blog categories based on topic.
I will warn you that this is not a short list, but a worthy one if you’re up for the reading challenge.
I hope you enjoy and will make your way back for my future posts!
