The large SpaceX post will be available soon. Meanwhile, here is our end-of-year post for 2014 featuring the most popular posts of the year.
Every year, in the final days of December, numerous websites delve into reviewing the year. It is a time for reflection, whether embraced or not.
Despite reservations, we, too, are a website, and, thus, let’s partake in this reflective festivity.
2014 proved to be an eventful year for us at Blue Jay Blog. We delved into various new topics, introduced our first store, initiated a new method for reader engagement with the Dinner Table, and the summer travel series was a notable addition. On a personal note, my New Year’s resolution a year ago was “Next year, Tuesday means Tuesday“, yet I managed to post between 0 and 2 times on time. An eventful year all around.
Throughout the year, we shared numerous substantial and minor pieces on different sections of the site. However, at the core were 35 major, lengthy posts (all available in the Archive). So, which ones resonated the most?
Here are the top ten most popular posts of 2014:
