what brought you here
There's no question that 2008 was a pretty good year for my blog. I won the "Best Local Blogger" award in the Knoxville News Sentinel readers' poll and had a couple of days with big readership spikes. So, which posts were the most read this year? Not surprisingly, a 2006 post about Abby Ham was the number two ranked entry. If I filter out the old stuff that still turns up in people's Google searches, here are my most viewed posts from 2008:
1) Jimmy Kimmel mentioned me when I sent him a funny obituary from the News Sentinel
2) Stacy McCloud's boots will turn up in my search results for years to come
3) This December entry about Julianne Hough's concert in Knoxville made a strong late-year showing
4) Gentlemen's Top Cuts has gone out of business but it got a lot of attention when it first opened
5) Oh and Paris Hilton showed up in Pigeon Forge
6) Fans of Randy Rhoads linked to my post on their message boards
7) Game on! The Osmonds are competing with the Houghs to be the most popular Mormon showbiz family among my readers
8) Fans of American Idol's Ace Young lit up their message boards too
9) Of all my posts about Dr. Bill Bass and the Body Farm this year, this one got the most views
10) Stacy McCloud got promoted to evening anchor but didn't give up the noon news
11) A lot of clicks from Derek & Julianne Hough fans came via the ABC.com message boards, take that Osmonds!
12) People looking for this post could have been Natasha Henstridge fans, "Lost" fans, WATE news fans or maybe even George Michael fans
13) We're back where we started with a follow-up to the most-viewed post about Jimmy Kimmel mentioning Knoxville
14) I think readers of this post about local news were mostly interested in diamond rings or the lack thereof
15) Mmm... cupcakes
16) Melinda Doolittle may not have as many fans as Ace Young but they found this post
17) Who do you think the readers of this entry were searching for, Chef Walter or Stacy McCloud?
18) Like everyone, I was surprised and saddened by Tim Russert's passing
19) It looks like the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra will have a successful blogger night in January
20) My recent story of a young girl's Christmas wish for a styrofoam penguin got mentioned on the local news
21) Pope Benedict XVI might have ranked higher if he visited Knoxville
22) DSRL!
23) The last Haunted Cave might have inspired people to read about Cherokee Caverns
24) Sam's Club gets me hooked on raspberry chipotle sauce and then cuts me off
25) Wasn't it great when the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Rickrolled us?
Happy New Year! See you tonight?
