Every year I compile a list of my most popular blog posts. Here’s the top ten from last year:
- Walking the CNT’s Streets (or a Tour of Spanish Civil War Barcelona)
- Troubling the Truth (Easter 2022)
- A First Day at the Fringe
- Barcelona (and Sitges) by Mouth
- Two Final Shows at the Fringe
- Arriving in England
- Manchester
- Sermon List Updated
- A Second Day at the Fringe
- Harris Manchester College
And the top ten of all time:
- Forecasting Congregational Finances During a Time of Uncertainty
- …Or Perish Together as Fools
- Minns Lectures Announcement
- Starting at the Senior Interim Minister, First Unitarian Universalist Church, Greater Houston, Texas
- Collective Memory, a Sermon in Response to the Shooting at the Tree of Life Congregation
- Some Thoughts on Ministerial Tenure
- The River May Not Be Turned Aside
- A Tribute to the Rev. Kay Jorgensen
- March 2020 Board Report Responding to COVID-19
- Abolition Democracy (Unity Temple)
I am not surprised, but with two exceptions, all of my highly read blog posts from 2022 were about my sabbatical travels. I have noticed that my travel blog posts in general tend to both prove very popular when I put them online but also seem to have fairly short half-lives. In other words, the generate interest for a few weeks and then don’t get read.
This year I’m going to make an effort to capitalize on the popularity of the travel blog posts by adding a travel section to my site. It will be similar to my list of sermons in that it will provide links to specific trips I’ve taken. I will start with three: El Salvador (2014); Europe (2019); and Europe (2022).
