I noticed that Conor O’Mohony just posted a similar entry so it gave me an idea to do the same.  Thanks for the inspiration, Conor!

Last year on Dec 20, my blog had had 994,747 unique views since I started blogging on devworks.  Today, I have 1,994,943.  The difference is just over a million views!  I will definitely reach 2 million views this week!  Very exciting.

So, what posts did people like to read on my blog this year?  Here are the entries based on number of views:

1.  Flashbook: Understanding Big Data: Analytics for Enterprise Class Hadoop and Streaming Data

2.   FREE stuff

3.  DB2 Best Practices – New or Updated in 2011

4.  Book Promotions for the Month of February 2011

5.  Where can I get a Flashbook?

I’m happy that these 5 entries were well-read since I think that they contain valuable information and reflect the type of content that I like to post.

To complete the list, here are the all-time most read entries:

1.  New White Paper: IBM DB2 and Canonical Ubuntu

2.  Making it Big in Software

3.  Certification: Getting Started Checklist

4.  Certification 101

5.  DB2 on Campus Book Series

I like these posts as well, but the certification posts are sadly out of date.  I will update them in the next while so you have better content to read.

If you like what I tend to share, I encourage you to “follow” my blog.  As of writing this entry, I have 192 followers and thank every single one of you.  I’m in the midst of reading Antonio Cangiano’s book: Technical Blogging: Turn Your Expertise into a Remarkable Online Presence and am learning tips from his expertise.  I would like to put many of his tips into practices in the next few months…. I wonder if you’ll notice?  Asking you to follow my blog is just one of his tips!
