Since everyone on television and in magazines seems to be doing an annual roundup, I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon! (And, you know, I just wanted to write some Wild West cliches …)

Here’s the year in Mizwrite.com stats:

Posts most read by strangers (not my regular readers), in order of ranking:

• Eichler Homes: Loveliness in Walls of Glass
• Who Would You Cast as Jamie in ‘Outlander’?
• Downtown Disney Freeze!
• The Basics of Critiquing III: the Antagonist and the Conflict
• Don Draper and Other Men Who Don’t Do It for Me

Posts most popular with my regular readers, in order of ranking:

• How I Met Superman (the landing page)
• What Was Your Favorite Book of 2009? (I’ll have to do another one of these for this year. Fun comments!)
• Jobs Everyone Should Have at Some Point (great comments!)
• Teens and Elaborate Dance Proposals (I have no idea why this one ranks so high)
• The Story of How I Met Superman, Part 3: Separate Orbits (Strange that part 3 has highest ranking, but oh well!)
• 3 for Thursday: 3 Famous People You’ve Met (I think these were my favorite comments, along with the Dopelganger one)
• Well, This Can’t Be Good (Not sure why this ranks here)
• The Story of How I Met Superman, Part 2: The Obstacle (Okay, part 2 is working its way up the ranks. But not everyone reads part 1 first??? Huh. Incidentally, the next one down on the stats is part 8!)
