Which A Life’s Work’s posts were the most visited in 2011, you ask? Of the 100 or so posts written this year, here are the top 15:
- Los Straitjackets and Yasujiro Ozu
- Homage
- Ask the Filmmaker: The Ecstasy and the Agony
- SETI – An Act of Imagination: A Clip
- What’s the Filmmaker Reading?
- Endings, Happy and Otherwise
- Discovering Your Passion: Bob Marovich and Gospel Music
- Jill Tarter and Sputnik: A Clip
- Paolo Soleri Retires: New Leadership at Cosanti Foundation
- Happy Record Store Day: A Clip
- Ommmmm…..
- Lost Gospel Music Clip – Process
- What Makes Me Happy? Positive Interaction
- Why Is So Much Black Gospel Music Lost? A Clip
- What’s Up?
No. 1 was a runaway winner, thanks to Los Straitjackets who linked to the post from their website and mentioned it on their Facebook page.
What other information can be gleaned from this list? Clips are popular, so are posts with questions in the titles.
You seem to enjoy posts about books (What’s the Filmmaker Reading?) and films besides A Life’s Work (Endings, Happy and Otherwise and Ommm…). Timely posts are big (Paolo Soleri Retires and Happy Record Store Day), and it was nice to see a mini-interview in the top ten (Discovering Your Passion).
In 2012, you’ll see more of the same. But tell me, what do you like most about the blog? I’d really like to hear from you.
Which reminds me of my favorite lame joke. A cowboy and a horse are around a campfire after a long day on the prairie.
“Well,” the cowboy says, “You’re a good horse. You’re loyal and smart. Sometimes you’re stubborn and you can be a little slow to get going–”
“Feedbag,” the horse says, “not feedback!”
I’ll bet you don’t want more jokes in 2012.
