For all those who have started to follow the blog since the beginning of the year, or anyone who might have missed a post, here is a summary of the most read posts of the year. I’ve grouped them into ‘families’ for ease of use.

Actually, though, there is a really wide spread over the posts, and, even more pleasing for me, people continue to call up old posts a long time after their publication. As a blogger, it is really satisfying to know that the posts are still useful and don’t fall into the “published and forgotten” basket!

Note: You can also use the “Categories” in the side-bar to the left if you want to find other posts; or the “Search” box at the top right. The “Top posts & pages” list that appears in the sidebar is updated in real-time and thus only shows the posts that are most viewed at the particular time you are consulting the blog.
