It’s close enough to the year end to reveal which posts on this blog have been most read this year. The list tells you mainly that (1) there has been a continuing upward trend in the number of visitors to this blog (thank you!), so there are more from later months of 2013; and (2) lists are very popular. So there is limited information in the ranking. Still, the posts are:
