Yesterday, there were a lot of hits on a non-comedy-related piece I wrote in 2013.
This blog is often called a comedy blog, but the statistics of all-time highest hits on specific pieces are interesting. Only three out of the top ten are actually comedy-related.
On my Twitter page, I say: “I blog daily about interesting people doing creative things.”
And who am I to disbelieve myself?
But it is more complicated than that.
My ten blogs with the most hits are:
No 1

No 2
