This is the first year that the blog has been independently hosted (i.e., I pay for it, and I can make it look however I want). So I think a Top Blog Posts entry is in order.
Rather than make this subjective, I went through the data and broke down the 2010 top posts from my blog into two categories: Most Page Views and Most Comments. I limited the list to entries I wrote and published in 2010. Note that the data below is as of December 18, 2010.
Top 5 Most Viewed
All-Time Best: 10 Fun Facts About Puerto Rico (5,667 views)
Total Page Views for 2010: 70,394
Subscribers: 49
Alexa Pagerank: 4,912,656

Congrats, Jaam. 2010 was a great year. It takes serious dedication to not only think of 5 interesting topics per week, but to actually translate those into an entry. Well done!
Hey, thanks Trev. It’s an honor to be able to start so many virtual conversations.
Interesting that the most viewed and most commented seem to be predominately about women and relationships. Also, I think that Puerto Rico post is artificially over viewed. Its position as most viewed in the side bar means it gets clicked on more, and thus maintains its status.
Good guesses, but it’s actually because the Puerto Rico post is the one that people find the most on Google searches.
Your challenge for 2011 is clear: How to weave discussion of buxom beer wenches kissing each other into every post.
A daunting task, no doubt, but no man is up to it more than you. Happy New Blog Year, Jamey!
That’s quite a challenge. I wish I could post that photo more often
