I happened to read this blog and thought – well which of my posts have been viewed the most? I hit my stats counter (something I rarely do!) and this is what came up:

As you can see, not really posts – but PAGES!

Back in September 2009 I started Practical Pages because I wanted to share my homeschooling resources and ideas. I wanted the blog to be practical, helpful, encouraging and free. It has been a joy to upload my pages and freely give away the downloads.

What about my posts then?

Now, I am not looking for stats, popularity, viewers, followers, shares, likes, tweets, hits … and so on. I am not on Facebook and don’t network with Twitter. I don’t post for comments and don’t even know what “formula” there is for generating a following. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting comments, but it seems that this blog is not personal or intimate enough for a flood of comment response. (Having said this, you are welcome to subscribe to my blog and have posts emailed or RSS feeds to your reader or home page! 🙂 )

But back to the top posts – I went back to my stats counter to scan through pages and look at the most popular posts, and down the list and scattered among the pages, these posts came up:
