Happy New Year from Top Ten Blog Tips!

Technically, this is the 100th post on the site, but that includes the About page. So, it's really the 99th. I'll be writing a special 100th post in the near future. Please leave a comment if there's anything you'd particularly like to see in my 100th post.

In this post, I'd like to list the top 10 posts according to Google Analytics. These are currently the most popular posts on the site. Have you read them all?

1. 10 things you can do with WordPress widgets - Top Ten Blog Tips started out as a WordPress blog (here are some reasons why I moved to Injader). This post was written when I was still using WordPress. It's the most popular post on the site.
2. 10 signs your Twitter etiquette could be improved - After using Twitter for several months, I came up with a list of "bad habits" that seemed to attract quite a bit of attention.
   
3. 10 timesaving tips for a busy blogger - Sometimes, it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day. This post suggests some ways to deal with the issue of not having enough time. It seems a lot of you could relate to the post, as it's the 3rd most viewed post on the site.
4. 10 tips for writing a compelling post - Writing dozens and dozens of posts is a completely pointless task if the posts aren't worth reading. This post gives you 10 ways to write a truly compelling post for your blog.
5. 10 tips for grabbing a new reader's attention on your blog - By the time I wrote this post, I had plenty of content to provide additional information. The post was fairly link-heavy, but as a result, it provided a great summary of this topic with loads of background reading for those who needed it.
6. 10 tips for promoting your blog online - Once you've published some great content on your blog, it's time to start promoting it. This post lists 10 ways you can promote your blog using online methods. There's a follow-up post where I list 10 ways to promote your blog offline - the Advertising and Promotion features this post, and more.
7. Authority blogging: 10 questions with Chris Garrett - Although I've published 5 posts under Blogging Personalities, to date this is the only interview I've done. I originally ran the interview to answer some comments from a previous post, but it turned out to be a very insightful and informative interview.
8. 10 ways to be a blogger people will want to follow - This post came together very nicely, and it's one of my favourites. It's a very solid list of ways that you can be a blogger that people will genuinely show an interest in.
9. 10 tips for writing a blog post - Every now and again, it's good to get back to basics and look at the very fundamental aspects of blogging. This is one of those posts.
10. 10 signs your blog sucks - The post that started it all. If it hadn't received so many comments I might never have continued writing top ten lists.

So, that's 10 of the most popular posts at Top Ten Blog Tips! Which are your favourite posts so far?

Hi Kirsten - glad to hear the post worked out for you. It worked out for me, too - let me know if you'd like to do another. And thanks for the feedback. The posts are likely to be less frequent this year, but I do plan to keep adding new content when I have time.
