Wow! Six years ago today, I began writing this blog. Ten thousand posts, a thousand “The Best…” lists, and five books later, I’m still at it….I hope I’ve got at least another six years of writing in me….
It’s been quite a ride, and I’m a better teacher, and person, because of it. Thanks to all you readers from whom I’ve learned so much.
Here are the most popular posts from this blog over six years:
Writing it has made me a better teacher for my students, and I hope it’s been helpful to others. It’s been an incredible gift to be able to connect with so many talented educators around the world.
Feedburner, though sometimes erratic, consistently says about 25,000 people subscribe to this blog daily. There’s bound to be overlap, but there are also 2,000 people who receive my monthly newsletter, and fifteen thousand who read it via Twitter, along with others who read it on Facebook and on Google+.
Though “The Best…” lists are clearly extremely popular, some of my non-”The Best…” posts have also rung a chord with readers. Here are some of those most popular ones:
I began my Engaging Parents In School blog about a year ago to support the publication of my book, Building Parent Engagement In Schools. I’ve written many posts on that blog over the past twelve months, and I thought readers might find it useful to see a list of which ones have been “clicked-on” the most:

My Feedburner statistics, along with the stats of several other edubloggers, went a bit haywire last month. Based on what they were saying prior to that time, I think I have about 8,000 daily subscribers, plus close to a thousand additional people who get my monthly newsletter (Feedburner now says I have 25,000 subscribers, but I’m not that deluded).
I appreciate the people I have met — online or in person — through this blog, and everything I have learned from you.
Thanks, and forward to another year!
In addition to the above few words, I thought people might find it interesting to see what have been the most popular posts since this blog began. As I do usually when I share my most popular posts, I’m providing two separate lists — the most popular “The Best…” lists and the most popular ones that were not “The Best…” lists.
Here are they are:
The Most Popular “The Best…” Lists Over The Past Three Years:
This post contains a listing of the most popular posts in this blog during January . These are the ones that have been most “clicked-on,” and are different from my Websites Of The Month. Those are the posts that I personally think are the best and most helpful.
Because of the popularity of my “The Best…” lists, it should be pointed out that often the most clicked-on posts are not necessarily ones that I wrote that month. Instead, they might have been written earlier, but then one of these older ones has just been highlighted elsewhere and all of a sudden become popular.
I write a monthly piece sharing the most popular posts that appear in this blog — the ones that are most “clicked-on.” You can see these monthly lists at Most Popular Blog Posts.
I figured it would be interesting to readers, and to me, to see which ones were the most popular during the entire year.
