Again, I’d like to thank everyone for reading South Milwaukee Blog.
It’s been a year of major growth for this blog, and I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to check out the site, with a special thanks going out to my regular readers and subscribers.
All in, the blog logged about 44,000 page views in 2011, and it’s seen more than 71,000 since I launched it in October of 2009. The biggest single day for page views this year came on Nov. 2, with 488.
Of course, while I’d like to think that it’s my prose that keeps people coming back, I know news stories drive traffic to this blog. And 2011 was a big year, with the happenings in Madison, sale of Bucyrus and approval of Walmart among the stories dominating the headlines.
Here are the five most-viewed stories from 2011, according to this summary:
- Walmart Gets Final Approval From Council … And Why I Voted Yes Amid The Shouting
- South Milwaukee Trick or Treating Set For Sunday, Oct. 30 — But Why Not Halloween?
- $1.4 Million Short: South Milwaukee School District Proposes Deep Cuts
- Walmart Public Hearing And Vote On Tuesday And Why I Unfortunately Won’t Be There
- Farewell, Bucyrus
