February 2015 – Top Posts & Commenters Plus BOOK GIVEAWAY
Here are the highlights from February 2015. Thanks to everyone who read along and commented. Your readership and participation in the daily discussions are what make The Stretched Community. Thank you!
Overall, traffic was down from January (39.62%). Traffic was up 75.13% compared to a year ago. I made changes early this month to the URL link structure for my posts which contributed to changes in the traffic trends on the blog. I expect it may take a couple of months to recover, but I think it was the right thing to do. All the posts on the top ten list this month are from the month of February 2015, and three of the posts were related to my delegation series. If you missed any of these posts, I hope you’ll go and check them out now by clicking below. The posts with the most engagement were – Ice Breaker – Love Songs and January 2015 – Top Posts & Commenters Plus BOOK GIVEAWAY.
