Our most commented articles this past year:
And finally, the posts most “liked” by Facebook users.
It is quite interesting how the set of posts receiving the most blog comments and those receiving the most Facebook likes are completely disjoint. The former tends towards Wordless Wednesday and Luna, while the latter tends towards cat-and-synth pics and art/music reviews. Certainly something to reflect on as we move forward into this next year.

Congrats! My 7 year is tomorrow! I skipped the stats last year but kind of missed it so you might have inspired me to do them again. As always, thanks for the support. CatSynth rules!

Congrats on your 6th anniversary! It’s not every day that you see such persistence. I only hope I can find the same motivation to maintain my own dubstep software blog (dubstep program FAQ), but we’ll see how the year goes. I’ve been reading through your posts, and you have a great knack of translating the feel of the music into words… and I don’t know how you do it, but keep up the good work!
