Top Ten for 2011

All over the Blogosphere people are doing their 2011 post recaps for the year. I've never done one before, so I thought it would be fun to give it a try this year.

My top ten posts are the ten most viewed posts from 2011 that were posted in 2011. I decided to disregard posts prior to 2011 because my sidebar does a nice job of keeping my overall posts ranked and current. That, and I'm just dang tired of looking at those posts. I'm even a little tempted to delete them. But I won't, because they're my top ten and they generate a lot of traffic.

Ho hum. With no further ado, here are my 2011 top ten:

#1, by a landslide, was Menu Planning Redo

#2 - Flexible Chore Charts

#3 - You Asked For It . . . Thoughts in Vinyl

#4 - Digital Scrapbooking with sbcStudio for Mac

I feel like I should wash my mouth out with soap for this one. I finally gave up on the Mac software and made the switch to Photoshop Elements. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if you have a PC, the Creative Memories StoryBook Creator Plus software is awesome, but if you have a Mac, don't waste your time.

#5 - Band-Aid Boxes for Teachers

#6 - I Was Going To . . .

#7 - Water Chestnuts Wrapped in Bacon

All I had to do here was to say "bacon" and everyone came running. Knocked me right over.

#8 - Backpack ID Tags Round Three

I'm happy to report that the third time's a charm. This round of ID tags is holding up very nicely.

#9 - You Stress Me Out

#10 - Turkey Salami Wraps

Now, let's just pretend that Google Analytics doesn't exist and I get to pick my own favorite posts for 2011. This is how it would all shake out.

#1 - The Life Cycle of a Spider and Other Zen-Like Ponderings

#2 - If My Kids Scream in the Forest and I'm Not Around to Hear Them, Do They Make a Sound?

#3 - Annie Get Your Gun . . . The Peace and the Love Continues

#4 - Death in the Family

#5 - The Adventures of Compass Man and Perpetually Lost Girl

Oopsie, that's all I have. No top ten because I don't even think I posted ten times this year. My bad.

Clearly I'm not doing that SEO thing and clearly Google doesn't think the post titles I'm choosing for my favorites are worthy of being ranked by the SEO thingamajig. I'd promise to do better, but the truth is, I like making obscure post titles.

It's not me, Google, it's you.
