I generally don't pay a whole lot of attention to the stats, but one of the things that interests me is finding out which articles are getting the most views. The Google stats are not scientific, and they don't include articles that are read via feedreaders, email subscriptions, etc, but they give me a general sense about how the things that are on my heart relate to those who read what I write.
What I'm really excited about doing is reviewing some of the other blogs I read and sharing my favorite articles from 2007. That will take some time, but I do plan to do that. For now, it's pretty easy for me to look at my Google Analytics stats and simply list the top articles for 2007.
I'm very excited about the number one article. I wrote it in February and I poured a lot of my heart into it. The "topic" remains in the beat of my heart.

*These two articles contain words and phrases that appear high in the "keyword" searches that have landed people on my blog. In other words, it appears that many non Grace Roots readers have landed on my blog while searching for those terms, and so those pages are highly ranked due to general web searches. Nevertheless, thank you Jul (VOG) for the article that I linked to on Number 6 and thanks also to Robin Williams and Bruce Springsteen for providing content that brings people to my blog. ;)
