Wow! This is nice
1. http://wp.me/p1dJTS-fq – Why you should read my blog?
2. http://wp.me/p1dJTS-bj – Sharing my life’s creed ♥
3. http://wp.me/p1dJTS-79 – It’s not always words all the time.
Okay, I’ve sort of flamed out on post a day, but here are a few of my favorite things. Hopefully this will inspire me to write more.

Woop woop! I’m still going good. Top 3 posts well lets see….
My review of One of Our Thursdays is Missing
My review of When God was a Rabbit
and
My musings on the effects of a book being popular on your perception of it
In no particular order
I’m not sure how to decide what my top 3 posts are; I’ve written 119 so far this year, I’m far from having an opinion on all of them!
I know the three with the most hits are:
1. Bonus Points For Honours Maths (237 views)
2. Bones Vs. Castle (173)
3. Irish Blog Awards 2011 (155)
But there are others I probably like better than those. This whole blogging thing has brought me some great opportunities. I got to meet and interview the Taoiseach Enda Kenny (the Irish Prime Minister), interviewed the lead actress in a new Irish film (Snap) and was a finalist for Best Youth Blog at the Irish Blog Awards 2011. It’s all because I took part in this posting every day challenge! Yeah it’s been difficult but I can’t believe what this has done for me already – and we’re only 33% of the way there so far
Great topic! I look forward to seeing everyone’s favorites.
Here are mine:
January 1, 2011 — A candid shot of our New Years Eve gathering. I’m not very good taking candid photos, so I was pleased with how this one turned out.
http://dorisrudddesigns.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/january-1-2011-2/
April 2, 2011 — my mom’s cat, Mary Alice. She’s still a kitten and I was determined to take her picture. Only problem? She wouldn’t sit still. I loved the look of the vintage suitcase and was determined to take the shot of her sitting IN the suitcase. But that didn’t happen. I snapped this when she paused for 2 seconds.

March 21, 2011 — I’ve been trying to capture a moon shot for over a year. I purchased a new zoom lens to take on vacation to the coast. I didn’t know until I got to the beach that the Super Moon would be in view that Saturday night. This was my chance to try again, and I think I nailed it:

It’s been challenging to take on this challenge and keep up with three other WordPress blog sites (as well as a blog with a New England newspaper) while working on a novel, a short story, and a newspaper article.
I chose a group of posts on being discovered by a sister released for adoption, all found in my ADOPTION category, for my first favorite. My second was a photo/journalistic post, and my third told of a reader responding to a post. Then I listed the runner-ups in an ADDITIONAL READING section on the post, My Three Favorite Post a Day Posts: January through April 2011. Will I take on the challenge if you offer it in 2012? Probably. But first, I just have to get through the 2011 Posta a Day challenge!
Carolyn – can you provide links to these posts?

Thanks, Erica Johnson, you inspired me to post

of course I’ve set a link there to your site…
Great work everyone.
This was definitely my top post, as it made Freshly Pressed (thank you wordpress, I love you!): http://intelligentchallenge.wordpress.com/2011/01/16/you-are-wrong-i-am-right/
Is there a way I can see my top viewed post via stats? I can see my stats but only for a week/month/year at a time. Does WordPress put themin order from least viewed to most viewed? How can I go back and drill into stats from an older month? ‘tanks for your help-

What a wonderful idea for sharing our blogs and getting to know some more! I’m still enjoying the heck out of this challenge and I look forward to writing my blog post for each and everyday! I’m posting a song a day throughout 2011. Below are 3 of my favourite posts.
1. Sarah Mclachlan – Dear God – http://wp.me/p1grkX-3B (a very good response to this one)
2. Yiruma – River Flows In You – http://wp.me/p1grkX-5E (I just wrote as it came to mind in this one, I was in a very reflective mood this day)
3. Vintage Trouble – Nancy Lee – http://wp.me/p1grkX-bL (this post was featured on the bands facebook/twitter pages)
Please come over, and leave me a comment. I read and reply to every single comment I get on my blog(s)
I could say that two of my top three posts are the ones which were Freshly Pressed – The Challenge of a Daily Post (http://wp.me/p1aPJk-5i) and I Love Junk Mail (http://wp.me/p1aPJk-fL) – but I really think my top three posts are the ones which made me smile when I wrote them or brought back a memory of a loved one that was dear to my heart. They may not have received many comments or even visits — but they are special to me. Here they are: An Amazing Life (http://wp.me/p1aPJk-E), George Will Do It (http://wp.me/p1aPJk-6T) and You’ve Got To Know When to Hold ‘em (http://wp.me/p1aPJk-5f). There are many more that I really enjoyed writing because they tell about my crazy family – and they make me laugh, make my cry and sometimes relieve stress – but I’ll pick these three for today. It’s been a great journey so far – and I’m looking forward to the rest of it!
Those were great!

It’s like trying to pick my favorite grandchild – can’t be done – especially since my blog, Off the Base, has several talented contributors whose goal is to close the gap of understanding between the military and civilian communities. But, I will share three blog entries that have had huge impact in no particular order.
- FIVE YEARS, TWO KIDS AND FOUR DEPLOYMENTS LATER: From Army Wife and President of the MacDill Enlisted Spouses Club, Jackie Dorr, http://offthebase.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/five-years-two-kids-and-four-deployments-later/
- AN OPEN LETTER TO WESBORO PROTESTORS: From fellow WordPress blogger and civilian contributor, Harold: http://offthebase.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/an-open-letter-to-westboro-baptist-church/
- SENDING A SON OFF TO MILITARY COLLEGE: From a Military Mom no longer in training, Dorie Griggs: http://offthebase.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/mom-readies-for-sons-military-college/
I’m privileged to share their stories and the insights from many more.
My top three posts this year.
Noboby Does It Better
Victory Day
Dreadlock Holiday
The more you do it, the easier it gets.
I only hope people enjoy reading them half as much as I enjoy making them.

Below are my favorite three posts . . .
1. Back in February I was freshly pressed, which was a hoot. I wrote about being freshly pressed. You can read it here: http://filmdrift.com/2011/02/24/my-brief-flirtation-with-blog-fame/
2. My most viewed post (after the freshly pressed post) was my review of the movie “Rango.” Here it is: http://filmdrift.com/2011/03/05/rango-movie-review/
3. I’m kinda proud of my review which compared/contrasted two versions of the movie “The Mechanic” (the 2011 and the 1972 versions). Read it here: http://filmdrift.com/2011/02/07/the-mechanic-movie-reviews-of-both-the-2011-and-1972-versions/

Very difficult, I wanted to choose at least 4 but didn’t. Okay, enough of the self-aggrandizement.
You can see my selection, beginning 5-2-11 here:

Oh, I guess you can see it right now – don’t have to wait until it’s published.
I’ve definitely seen an improvement in my stories since starting this and defining what I wanted to accomplish with my blog. Here were my favorite three posts:
http://dogear6.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/favorite-three-posts/
Wow, a third of a year done…what a milestone. Who’d have thought we’d make it this far!
Here are the three favorite posts I’ve written (which were also popular among readers):
Life is a song, so why not dance? http://analyfe.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/life-is-a-song-so-why-not-dance/

It took me long enough, but I’ve posted my top 3 over at slightly insightful.
This challenge has been a big help in keeping my goal of three posts per week. I might have made that goal anyway, but it’s nice to have all the shared effort to keep me motivated!
I’m blogging on military retirement & financial independence for the book that’s coming out in August. So most of the topics are on retirement lifestyles and military finances, but once in a while I share old sea stories.
One of the most popular posts was “Dealing with retiree guilt”:
http://the-military-guide.com/2011/01/27/dealing-with-retiree-guilt/
The second-most popular post was Suze Orman’s less-than-helpful advice to a dual-military couple:
http://the-military-guide.com/2011/05/04/suze-orman-advises-a-dual-military-couple/
But by far the most popular has been a 25-year-old sea story titled “Hang on!”:
http://the-military-guide.com/2011/04/07/sea-story-hang-on/
Blissful Ignorance VS Painful Knowledge
From Our First Breath To Last
Time For The People’s Wake Up Call
Lots of quality posts here folks, good reasons to be proud of what you’ve all achieved! Took me a while to decide on my top 3 posts and here they are:
How to add an image Widget to your side bar!
http://noobcake.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/how-to-add-an-image-widget-to-your-side-bar
After the effort I put in making this guide it was worth the effort as plenty of people found it really helpful. Woop!
Story Bounce! Tell your story!
http://noobcake.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/story-bounce-tell-your-story
I wasn’t prepared for the huge amount of interest in this post. So many comments that helped the story along was amazing! I’m planning on putting it all together at some point in a story and posting it.
Osama Bin Who?
http://noobcake.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/osama-bin-who
I’m proud of this post because I took my time to get my thoughts in order and be clear on what I wanted to say without seeming biased or seen as some weirdo having a rant for the sake of it.
Today’s society is such a rich and colorful, in fact more than we humans created. NBA teams we are all very clear, that is, with this organization to make society more exciting. Our USA Jersey is the same.http://www.2011-jersey.us
Finally got my response posted.
