Alright peeps.  You know what time of year it is?  It’s the time of year where we all start talking about our blogs and all the accomplishments we have had this year as far as stats go.  Not really, I’m just saying it that way because it makes it sound funny.  I have, however, decided to do a couple different ‘TOP’ lists this week as the year closes out and I’d love to know what you think.  First up, the top posts of the year right here on this blog.  

Now, one thing I did realize was that the top posts of the year aren’t really ones that I spent a lot of time on, but are more ones that I think were found through searches.  Sort of a let down if you ask me, but then again that’s what makes blogging exciting, right?  So here goes.  The ‘…in case you were wondering.’ 2008 top five posts.

5. Music You’ve Never Heard (Again) – May 4th – This one I thought was pretty cool.  We’ve got a cool little thing brewing and I hope to one day really watch it grow.  I’d like to start a website called ‘Music You’ve Never Heard’ and allow folks to submit their favorite music you think people have never heard.  Now, I don’t want anyone stealing this idea because I’m getting pretty tired of that.  Seriously, don’t steal ideas please.

4. Citizens Of Virtue - October 6th – See this one is a little funny because I knew from the beginning it was fake.  I knew from the beginning it was a deal birthed in the mind of Rob Bell.  I knew it would cause some interesting conversation and that’s why the tag “I know something you don’t” was used for the first and only time.

3. Christians Voting For Obama – October 29th – This one doesn’t really surprise me.  With 109 comments, it was obviously a ‘hot topic’ and I was fascinated by the different opinions and insights expressed.  As this year comes to a close and the new year starts with a new president, I’m still as fascinated by what is going to happen.  Looks like I was right when it came to this post.

2. Favorite Childhood Cartoon – February 27th – See, this is one that is mostly based on searches.  One of my most searched keywords is ‘Duck Tales’.  From what I can tell, if you search the words ‘Duck Tales’ the image that I used shows up near the top.  Pretty cool, but really un-inspiring as a post.

1. Voting Tip – January 28th – Yawn.  Seriously?  This is the top post of the year?  Posted in the first month of the year?!  Lame.  I didn’t even take the dumb picture.  Oh well, if you showed up because of this post and decided to stick around for more than the eight seconds it took to look at that picture, thanks for sticking around.

So that’s it folks.  The top five traffic attracting posts of the year.  Not overwhelming, but cool to see.  What about you guys?  What’s a post that sticks out to you from this here blog from the year?  Is there one?  Ready?  Go.
