\"Numbers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You folks know I’m a statistics girl. I have this horrible addiction to numbers, particularly when it comes to this blog.<\/p>\n

I use both Google Analytics and StatCounter to track and analyze behavior on the blog. But I wanted to share with you the trends we see here.<\/p>\n

To the right of this post you’ll see a “Popular Post” block. I’ll need to give it a couple days to populate (the counter was at ZERO when I installed this widget), but I think over time you’ll see the two most popular posts appear.<\/p>\n

Canning Homemade Salsa<\/a><\/p>\n

Homemade Soda Stream Syrup<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of my other popular posts due to being linked on Pinterest and otherwise good SEO<\/a> from getting linked and referenced on Google over time.<\/p>\n

Bovril Beef Gravy<\/a><\/p>\n

The Vollmer PCS Binder<\/a><\/p>\n

And this one, which is consistently top 5, completely bewilders me.<\/p>\n
