The Best of my blog - three years review

It has been three years since I started my blog and I have more than 292 postings in that time.  At last I have had a chance to reflect on which ones were the most popular.  Thanks to technology, exactly how many people viewed each blog is clear.  At times that has become an embarrassment as the figures have been depressingly low.  But certain blogs attracted more than usual traffic and I wondered why?  Surely, there is learning to be had there?  So the research is in.  Here are the facts. The links to the individual blog entries are on the left (clicking on those titles wil take you straight to the story).  My conclusions are given below the table.  Hope you enjoy some that you may  have missed the first time around!

Conclusions
  1. I have not written anything of real worth this whole year (nothing that got over a 100 page views) all of the above are from years ago. 
  2. Accounts of the burning of the Great Library of Alexander and Malta's tunnels were by far the favourites.  Obviously, I should stick to history and cultural accounts?
  3. It has earned me an embarrassingly small amount of money (5.03 euros in three years), but boy have I enjoyed it.
