I debated adding the actual number of page views in this post (don’t want you to think I’m bragging)… but in the end, due to my extreme You can learn a lot from looking at good ol google analytics (which I did not start doing until Dec. 6, 2010… If you have a blog, please, please… sign up now… even if you have no idea what it is or how to use it!)
Lesson learned: Sign up for Stumble Upon and use it! (Follow me if you’d like!) Stumble others posts you really like and even stumble your own every now and then! Thank you to whomever stumbled this post! You rock! I also learned (from a rude comment) that you can NOT just copy and paste pictures from other sites, you have to save them to your computer and then upload them to your blog! Thank you, Lorie and everyone on C.R.A.F.T. facebook, for nicely explaining it to me

The funny thing about this post is when it originally went live in March of 2010 (just one month into my blogging obsession), I had awful cell phone pics in the post. When I realized the post was getting a lot of action, (I was embarrassed of my pathetic pics) I took better ones and changed them out! I could not fathom the idea of people coming to my space and seeing awful pictures! I have done that quite a few times now with older posts!
Lesson Learned: Submit your posts to the big blogs, link up to parties, and pin your own stuff! AND once again, make your pictures pretty, even if it is after the fact! I just changed this one now! I have lots of people to thank for this post… Annie (these are her nails and her tutorial!), Jen @ Tatortots and Jello, and Pinterest!
Lesson Learned: I re-did this printable. It used to look like this. My theory is if I don’t like it or am tired of… you probably are too… I had the old version hanging in my house and decided it needed an update. I made a new one and y’all liked it better too! This post went viral thanks to Everything Etsy! I was #2 on the 101 Pretty Printables list!!!
Lessons Learned: This is still one of my all time favorite projects! I LOVE this drawer, like really, really love it. I submitted this to Curbly and they posted about it, thank you!! Submit, submit, submit. Be squeaky Curbly recently re- posted about it in their top 10 DIY organization ideas… whahooo! (I’ve got the magnetic board with contact paper high on my to-do list!)
Lessons Learned: If you are posting about holiday related things, try your best to post it a minimum of a month before. This original post was on January 10, 2011… I feel like it was perfect timing for people to notice it and post about it! I was so so so excited when Ashely @ Ashely Ann Photography gave C.R.A.F.T. some link love for this little printable.
Lessons Learned: I like round ups, and so do other people! I love having all the images and ideas I like on one post! For C.R.A.F.T., holiday round ups seem to be a big hit!
Lessons Learned: Crafters like their round ups! And once again, thank you, Stumble Upon!
I think it is interesting to note that the top viewed does not equal the most commented on, weird right? It’s also interesting to note that the top 10 in 2011 are not the same as the top 10 most viewed posts ever on C.R.A.F.T… 8 of the 10 are the same. You can see that list on the left hand side of the ‘ol blog. ps.if your interested in more blog stuff…
