Top Ten 2012

Every year I publish the following stats in late December.  It’s interesting to see what people are Googling and which posts elicit the most comments.  It’s also fun to see what people enjoyed reading and sharing.  Maybe you will find something here you missed reading the first time around!

Thank you to everyone who read my blog this year, and thanks for the comments, too!
