2000 Blog Posts

Today marks my 2000th blog post!

I started this online diary on a bleak, cold wintery day in 2009 - almost 6 years ago! Could I do this daily? I wondered. In 2011, I gave it a try.

Readers often find my blog by doing a Google search of topics. A few of my posts are read years after they are written. Here are my current top 5 most-read blog posts, according to Google Analytics, a program that monitors such things:
 

1. What to Do With Indoor Trees? (posted February 25, 2011) is still number 1. It has 1968 "hits."
2. Second (posted August 7, 2010) is Memories, my cousin Rose Marie's story of an event that occurred around the time her only brother died. It has 1830 hits,
3. Third is a recipe, Peach Cobbler Plus, posted January 18, 2011, which has been accessed 926 times.
4. Next most read is African Violets in Bloom, dated July 21, 2011, with 830 hits.
5. Fifth most read is Lake Monster Baseball, with 565 hits. It was first posted on July 22, 2009.

Interesting that all these are from my early years of blogging. None of these "most read" posts are from the past three years!
