Now this year is a whole week old, I thought I’d take you waaay back in time to 2010, back when I had this little blog… OK, you got me, it’s the same blog.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’ve been reading ‘best of’ blogs around the place, and people have been sharing stats of all sorts, (a simple way to flesh out a post during that period between Xmas and New Year when no one wants to have to do any real work. Guilty as charged<\/a>, but not in the aforementioned time frame. Me? I just disappeared in between parties…) so I thought I’d post about the two biggest days of my year, last year.<\/p>\n These posts represent the days that saw most amount of clicks on my site for the year. Not what I expected, but interesting to note. Maybe? OK, so I’m not convinced that sharing such info is anything more than a self serving reminder of past glories, but I reviewed the stats and when I had a read of these posts I figured out they have something in common. They’re both long, and they critique events that are not specifically jewellery related. Coincidence?<\/p>\n Anyway, they were the posts Critiquing Criticism<\/a> on the 10th of September (admittedly I also blogged two lines about going to the opening of Bad Beasts Do Not Harm Me<\/a> by Natalia Milosz-Piekarska & Karla Way that day…) and out and about<\/a> on the 4th of October.<\/p>\n I don’t review or critique every show\/event I go to. I write when I feel that I have something specific to say about what I’ve seen, and I’m more inclined to write when I don’t think that another blogger will talk about it, or when in the writing that has appeared, there wasn’t a jewellist’s perspective. So yes, I am pretty chuffed that a couple of times when I did take the time to write long critiques last year, they got read.
