My best post of the year: gadflyrevolution.com/2008/12/100-free-online-poems/

Excellent index of free poetry online! Stumbled.

Well, since I've only been blogging for 2 months, I have less posts to choose.
melissabxoxo.blogspot.com/2008/12/say-hello-to-facebook-flirt.html -
That's a great collection of poetry, gadfly.
Wow, it's so hard to pick out my best post of the year (they're all terrible ... just kidding, I hope). Based on the statistics, this seemed to generate the most interest => Do you have a large surplus, or are you being controlled by those who do? www.talkmoneycafe.com/?p=182 -
I think my best post is here about what I think of Christiuanity, comparing it to music.

I had no less than FOUR people comment that they peed their pants while reading this:

As a humor blogger, what could be a better endorsement than readers wetting their pants? -

Most of my MUST READ POST ( in right column) are pretty traffic generating. -
I've already posted one on the other thread but this one probably gets the most hits and I'm still getting comments on it!

I actually think all of my posts were good but not because I wrote them. Each one has a flare of it's own and a message uniquely for each individual.
My favorites are
I have corrupted my wife!
Hersey's Kisses & the 3 Stooges

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! -
My favorite: swordfury.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/the-last-ballet/

This is my best post for the year

I think mine probably has to be the one I wrote for Blog Action day:
www.wikyblog.com/CynthiaWunsch/Wednesday,_October_15,_2008 -
i began my blog in May 2008, so my best post of 2008 will be the best of my whole blog ...
it won't be possible for me to choose one ... so, i would say that the following three posts are my best ones:
lifepsychologyandalotmore.blogspot.com/2008/05/loneliness-harbinger-to-alon...
lifepsychologyandalotmore.blogspot.com/2008/09/ideal-school-environment-bui...
lifepsychologyandalotmore.blogspot.com/2008/07/professional-wrestling-its-n... -
I'm enjoying reading these folks. I just got caught up and read each one. Nice work everyone! I say we keep this open for submissions until New Year's Day. It would be great to get everyone's best of 2008 in a thread. Don't you think? Thanks also to those leaving comments after you read.

I found an unbelievably cheesy video that Microsoft released to promote its Windows platform back in the 80s. This post is a description of just how godawful the video was. -
My longest and most read post is now irrelevant: "The Case Against Sarah Palin," which I posted on Sept. 4th, when she was still relatively unknown. markstoneman.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/the-case-against-sarah-palin/
My best? That's for others to decide. It depends on whether you want practical information and advice, history, political opinion, or something more personal.-
I mainly do short pieces, because most of my blogging is spontaneous, but sometimes a subject calls for something longer. I also like TimeThief's suggestions about longer "anchor posts" that are rich in links pointing to other posts on the same blog. (She's blogged about it and done a thread here too.)

My best for the year 2008:
www.kushmoney.com/2008/12/20/what-i-learned-from-successful-drug-dealers/ -
Don't get it. Do you mean Discussion Group posts or Blog posts? My best Discussion Group post was announcing Sarah Palin for VP. It drew some 750 comments. On my blog, best puller was on Dumpster Diving, which drew 59 comments.
-
If it's in terms of comments and viewership, then it's thumbs up for wdfavour.com/the-core-of-your-personal-success
It's hard to pick from them all. -
Here are the two people seemed to like a lot.
chaoticallycalm.blogspot.com/2008/10/personal-space-hand-sanitizer.html

It is a toss up between these two:
www.arcticulates.org/glimpse-autumn.html
and:
www.arcticulates.org/cats-meow.html -
The one that got the most hits for me is this short one:
gearsofrock.wordpress.com/2008/08/28/review-acdc-rock-n-roll-train-2008/
but I think my best one was this longer one:
gearsofrock.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/review-we-wish-you-a-metal-xmas-and-a-... -
My personal favorite was discussing clients who are difficult to communicate with email:
buildinternet.com/2008/12/6-ways-to-get-the-email-response-you-need/
But this article on scrolling received more attention:
buildinternet.com/2008/12/below-the-fold-why-scrolling-isnt-a-bad-thing/ -
probably the following and thanks for the opportunity for a little bc promotion:
cranelegspond.blogspot.com/2007/10/424-pocket-full-of-resentments.html -
that's all i have damien. 780 posts and that's it. but if i had to choose a second best it would be:
cranelegspond.blogspot.com/2007/05/136-next-life.html -
I really don't know. But I think this one is so close to my heart it made me teary-eyed writing this:
hangingonahyphen.blogspot.com/2008/10/finding-miss-nelia.html -
I don't know if it's my BEST, but I like it a lot. www.howjoeseesit.com/2008/12/tao-of-trouble-beagle.html

This is an early, no frills (before I learned how to upload images) one, but pretty much sums up what Yoga for Cynics is about....

I'm partial to this one from Sept 27. The poem is about a recurring dream and is called "Recurrence". As a cancer survivor I thought my readers might freak-out if they saw a post with this name, so the post is untitled.
lulu-haiku.blogspot.com/2008/09/untitled.html -
I would have to say my poems as well.

Gotta go with my 50 Free Sites to Watch Movies & TV Online post. I put the most research, effort and time into the 5-part series. It also increased my traffic from 100 daily views to an average of 1000 daily views.

I don't consider this my best post and there are a lot of in the previous I liked but this one made it to the 21st spot among the WP's Top 100 Posts of the day since yesterday! tinyurl.com/SCD64.
My blog's quite fresh and has been running only for a couple of months and this is really unexpected! XD -

Our intention for this post was for it to be thought-provoking.

I haven't yet written that many posts (only started blogging last month) but this one's had some nice feedback in the short time its been posted:

This is my best post i think for 2008. This is my most commented entry and most discussed among friends and collegues. Their reactions inspired me to go on writing as they gave me moral support and assurance that i am good at what i am doing. This may not be on the serious side but humour is what I am inclined to, so pardon if u find this article a bit too shallow for your taste. A link on your site would make me more than happy enough. Anything more than that is a bonus.

This would probably be one of my best posts, I have had almost 900 views on it since it was created:

This post is for people using Linux and managing their iPods with SongBird software. -
Oh, here's mine. I couldn't really decide. I think I might have closed my eyes. Maybe. Then I asked myself, What Would Jesus Do? Or something.

AT the risk of necro-posting...
These two made it in the top ten at Populist America for several weeks in a row:
identitycheck-anok.blogspot.com/2008/01/codependency-of-state.html
identitycheck-anok.blogspot.com/2008/02/making-case-for-war.html
As did this one, which was also picked up by Alex Jones:
identitycheck-anok.blogspot.com/2008/01/hr-1955-and-generalization-of-terro...
But I don't know which one is my personal favorite. -
I think my best post has been the one that's least like the rest of my blog.

synapticlight.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/it-is-all-about-life-change/
because that sums up what I enjoy most and what I would like to see as the most successful -
ecomind-thenewtrend.blogspot.com/2008/12/twitterville-is-growing.html
This is a article that describes some of the reason behind my blog. Still keep these posts active to remind myself to not lose track.
Cheers.. -
My best post of this whole year will always be:
www.jamaicamyway.com/help-a-jamaican
Until I return with the updated post after my trip in April. I'll be reporting back with pics and stories on what we did with the money. That post will surely top this one. -
For the ladies out there...I think these are two of our best posts of 2008:

I haven't been blogging long, but this one is my favorite. Perhaps, though, it is because I derive so much joy and love from the subject.

Well, maybe a week or two off. My friends mentioned this one most frequently.

According to my hits, it'll be either this one:
salomey5.wordpress.com/2008/12/13/ags-adventure-games-studio/
or that one:
salomey5.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/nailin-palin-montreal-style/
According to recurrent comments, it'll be my stupid American Idol "recaps".
