My Most Popular Posts

Posted on September 16, 2011 | Comments Off

Below is a screen shot of my most popular posts since I started this blog.  Does anyone see a pattern to what is popular and what is lower down the list?  One pattern I do see is that the ones I write with entirely original content analyzing something, creating a list of people or describing how I have done something are the most popular.  I must be doing something right.  I need to do more analysis and “how-to” types of posts as well as the lists librarians are good at creating.  Give me your input on this please by leaving a comment either here or on G+ or Facebook or even Twitter.

6 reasons to use WordPress as your non-profit’s Web platform | [http://www.arikhanson.com/]

Posted on August 9, 2011 | Comments Off

One question/issue I continue to hear from non-profits and small businesses is this: I need a Web site (or update/revamp my existing Web site), but can’t afford one.
Really?
In the era of democratized and open source tools, creating a Web site is more affordable than ever. Many non-profits and small businesses are stuck in thinking a Web site still costs upwards of 25K. That’s simply not true anymore. Not for non-profits and small businesses. (More at the link below)

What people read here – analyzing my blog stats

Posted on August 8, 2011 | Comments Off

I have been looking at the statistics on the use of my blog, http://BillTheLibrarian.com.  It is quite interesting.  I have seen spikes in particular posts if it relates to current interests such as Google+, covers a controversial topic not related to politics, or has “how-to” information in it.  These statistics come from WordPres.com via my WordPress Dashboard.

Here are my top posts since I started Bill The Librarian blog back on July this year. My homepage got 2,997 views. This is a count of page views. A page view is how often an individual views a page. These include repeat views.

Complete Idiot’s Guide to WordPress (ISBN: 9781615640720)

Posted on July 6, 2011 | Comments Off

I had requested this book via Interlibrary Loan and we decided to purchase it because of growing interest in WordPress here at TC3.  I have always enjoyed the Complete Idiot’s Guides and the format used in them.

 I just started reading and have already found something of value that I had not even thought about, a blog comment policy.  The guide has an excellent sample of one on page 37.  I copied it verbatim to use as a starting point here, my blog comments policy.  I will write more about what I learn from this book.  I may end up buying my own copy!  Stay tuned for more.
