As I'm "on vacation", I thought I'd give a reminder of some of my most popular posts.
To find the popular posts, I used my statistics tools...which brought to mind some thoughts on stats...
When I first began blogging I thought that statistics were only for bloggers who were trying to make money from ad clicks.
But as I've blogged for longer, I have found statistics useful, here's how:
- You know how people found your blog.
- You know what keywords bring people to you.
- You know what your most popular posts are.
- You know how many people come to your blog on any given day.
- And, my personal favorite, when you are having a down day, sometimes, you can check your stats and be pleasantly surprised - and greatly encouraged!
- Why You Should Have an Art Blog (part 1, part 2, part 3)
- Ingres' Drawing Materials
- Radiograph Pens, Worth It?

You are right, we listen to you! Thanks for the reminder to check these posts again.
Jo, you should know better than to listen to me ;D
The ear was meant that I listen to you! :D
Ah, I well remember the "Why you should have an art blog" posts... I do believe they were responsible for starting at least one blog that I know of.... MINE! Thanks a bunch.... you are such an inspiration.
I've just read "Stop dreaming and Start Doing" on Empty Easel. Great advice! I'll keep looking for more of your articles.
I totally agree about the value of stats.
Incidentally, I've got those first three as links in my Blogging for Artists site
