Statistics

Trying to improve my writing and research skills while writing this blog is always a challenge. It isn't easy trying to determine the subject of the next blog.  Maybe taking a look at the posts with the highest number of hits will show why those posts were of interest. This list pertains only to the blog posts during 2014.

The five posts with the highest number of hits during 2014 were as follows:

1.  He Married the Girl Who Brought the Eggs 

2.  Battle of Salem, Kentucky

3.  Follow Up On 1866 Livingston County Apprenticeships

4.  A Pistol and a Fiddle

5.  Cemeteries Here and There

Now, what do these posts have in common?  Not one thing. The last three all appeared in the month of September. Is that significant? I have no idea. The titles for #1 and #4 have catchy titles. Does that help? Maybe. The counties covered and the subject varies, but I have learned during the seven years of writing this blog that posts on the Civil War usually draw more hits. So, should I write about the Civil War during September and use a catchy title?

If you have any suggestions for topics or would like to submit a post, contact me through this blog.
