My Top Three... Linking Up with Fern!

Our friend Fern Smith is hosting a Linky Party!  She is giving us a chance to join up and share the top three vote-getting (oops, I mean VIEW-getting) posts!

(Yes, I know this seems like old news, but I am typing fast (in my mind) to catch up, and I am not making a lot of progress... yet!)

Okay, you probably already know about this party because there are so many people already linked up.  I just might be the last little icon on the Linky Party list FOREVER!  This makes me really nervous for some reason, so I am seriously hoping that some blogger returns from a wonderful vacation somewhere and says: "Hey!  I want to link up.  I'll just add my blog button right here after that funny-looking purple square."

Ahhhhh. That would be better.  Otherwise, I may have to find a friend, convince her to start a blog, have her post three entries, view them all, ask you to view them all, then have her link up.  Hmmmm.  That sounds like a lot of trouble.  But I hate to be last.  Second-to-last is peachy-keen.  Last... Not my favorite.

Back to top three posts...  Click the link to read. review or remember...

Coming in at third:
3.  The Best Blog Post I Could Have Imagined, with 1,562,913 views

And second:
2.  How'd You Get Your Classroom SO Clean?, with 2,742,193 views

And, with the most views:
1.  All That And You're a Teacher Too?, with 3,831,952 views... no, wait, add one, someone just viewed that post!

What?  The links won't work?  Hmmmm.  I'll have to ask Reagan's techno-skilled son to check it out!

Oh, I know why!  Those aren't my posts--or my stats. (You knew that, didn't you?  Can't fool YOU!) Sometimes, my stats can make me feel the same way I feel at the gym:  The person next to me is lifting 350 pounds and I keep falling of the bike (which is attached to the floor!)

Here's the deal.  I was visiting Hadar and reading about her Top Three.  And Hadar had a post with 59,000+ views.  And I thought certainly I must need new glasses because I really thought it said 59 THOUSAND views.

AND
IT
DID!

Now our Miss Hadar is uber amazing.  She not only has multiple blogs.  Her blogs have had multiple names (and even THAT is fun to read about!)!  And she shares great stuff.  And she has tons of viewers and followers and products and Pinterest pins and I think she's some kind of BloggyGoddess!

Alas, I don't have a post with 59 thousand views, or even 59 hundred views.  I was just glad when a few of my posts had more than 59 views.  And, I'm happy to tell you, I am okey dokey with that (which is a little weird because I worry about EVERYthing, and I mean EVERYTHING).  But since I don't have to worry about 59 thousand, (Thanks Hadar-Dear), I'm just fine with what is REALLY on the list (... or on the list when I can find it, because Blogger appears to be changing things up in the middle of the night!)

Some of us have little blogs and we are learning and growing.   I am proud of what I have learned because I could barely save and print when I started and now I have LINKED {Listens for trumpets}.  If you are a "Little Blogger" like me (Not a Teeny Tiny Blogger like Kristin!), hang in there... the numbers DO go up.  And if you are a "Big Blogger" like my idols (many of which, amazingly, can actually sing AND blog--although I am not sure about doing those concurrently), I am awed AND inspired (and those accolades work well together!)

So here are my REAL stats:

 

And here is what I find most interesting:  My post with the most views is about PAPER PLATES.  And while I appreciate versatility and the opportunity for differentiation, I am just chuckling that people were looking at paper plates.  Still, I hope they found something helpful.  I see the paper plate pictures a lot on Pinterest, so I'm glad that there are new people discovering the JOY of paper plates (Just kidding... I don't think the paper plate phenomenon will hold up for analysis in my doctoral dissertation, do you?)

AND, I owe an enormous ENORMOUS debt of gratitude to Jodi at ClutterFreeClassroom...because all of those viewers came to my site to read about paper plates (and my paper cutter) because of the Week At A Glance Link Up.  (I miss those Blue Circle parties!  Anyone else?)

So, that's the news  from the blog with the purple square (the blog button, not the blogger!)

Two more Linkys to go, and I will be caught up... OH NO!  The Blog Roll is showing new posts! I can't type or read that fast!  I'm hanging out with an amazing (and an amazingly productive!) bunch of BlogFriends.  Time to go read!

Oh! YOU have probably linked up with Fern already, but I bet a lot of people have linked up since you last visited.  Maybe you can go back and show Fern some BlogLove...
