I have yet to figure out the key to what makes one blog post more popular than another. Sometimes I write a post I really like and it bombs. Then I'll try to crank something out when I'm tired and just want to sleep. I'll think it is awful but people will really like it. I have a lot of special powers behind the scenes thank to blogger. I can see the popularity of my posts based on specific clicks. So really this isn't an overall basis of who saw them, but who clicked on a direct link. Either way, let's recap my four least popular posts. I'm trying to learn something here.
Least Popular Post 1: Chicken, Mango, and Avocado Summer Salad
I love this salad. I reread the post. It was from June and I think I was still working out some kinks. But really, cook this salad. It is so good. It might not be right for this time of year, but it was 90 degrees today in Houston, so there is a time and a place for everything.

| Case of the Mondays with Antihistamines. Not good. |
Least Popular Post 2: Under the Influence of Antihistamines
This one is just bad. So... sorry about that. It makes sense that it is least read. Don't even bother clicking above. It's three paragraphs of complaints.

Least Popular Post 3: Pretending to Be an Indian Olympian 101
I really liked this post, and BONUS we had this for dinner tonight. I LOVE Maya Kaimal's Indian Simmer sauces and talked about the opening ceremonies of the Olympics and what a huge joke Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera were. I still think all of those things. This was probably one of the ones that I really liked that just didn't get a killer reaction.

Least Popular Post 4: I is for Independence: Two Days of Hard Fought Ladybug Meals
So here I'm pretty sure I know what happened. Everyone who didn't have a kid was like "why the eff would I read this." That's true. But I still like this post for parents. If you have a toddler you know what it's like to have a few stressful days when they start getting picky with food or start to assert their independence. Reading this was like a trip down memory lane. It's crazy how quickly things change. Landy had her first meal at the big table tonight not in her high chair. This post was just two months ago.
So here is your chance if you want to give feedback. Not on what is above, but on the blog in general. Do you want more or less of anything? I've been trying to work on the length of my posts because I can go off and type and type and type and type and type and type and type and.... you see where this is going. I would love to have some more guest posts from friends (HINT HINT).
We've been cooking a lot lately, and that is pretty easy blog material. I have also undertaken fitness regiments for this blog. Wait for that on Friday. It's been four months since this whole blog journey began. I'm having a great time so far. Hope you are too!
