Back catalog for the sixth year of Crazy Eddie's Motie News


I concluded Comments and likes for the sixth year of Crazy Eddie's Motie News by telling my readers to "Stay tuned" as "I have one more retrospective planned in this series, top posts from the back catalog."  I decided to post it today as a figurative way of celebrating National Eat Your Vegetables Day instead of waiting for Throwback Thursday or Flashback Friday next week.  I know I'll feel better posting this now and being done with the series.

The only entry from the year before last's top ten Trump thinks Sanders is the right enemy from October 16, 2015, which was the top post of the fifth year of Crazy Eddie's Motie News.  It was at 7107 page views, 7247 according to the raw counter on March 20, 2016.  Like most entries, it lost default page views over time, dropping to 7072, while slowing increasing its raw views to 7295.  That was enough to keep it in the all-time top ten at second.  As for the rest, I'll repeat my standard refrain, "Sic transit gloria mundi."

Two other entries from the back catalog earned enough entries that they would have made this year's top 40, both of them during July 2016.  I'll be a good environmentalist and recycle what I wrote for them, beginning with A picture of hope and innocence from 40 years ago from July 26, 2013.
The top post this month and the winner of the Revenge of the Back Catalog trophy is "A picture of hope and innocence from 40 years ago" from July 26, 2013.  It earned 1804 page views in July, almost all of them from being shared at the Coffee Party Facebook page.  The first 24 hours saw 1697 page views, 632 of them in the first two hours.  It, along with the two July 4th drum corps posts, helped attract 2061 page views for the blog in one day, 448 of them in the first hour after being shared at the Coffee Party Facebook page.
The second was Bald Eagle facts for 4th of July weekend from DNews from July 3, 2015.
The final repeat from July 2015's top ten is "Bald Eagle facts for 4th of July weekend from DNews" from July 3, 2015.  Last year, it was the tenth most read post of the month.  This year, it came in second for the month.  It earned 1259 page views, 1245 most likely from being shared at the Coffee Party Facebook page, which contributed 1885 page views to the blog during July 4th-5th, including 623 the first hour after being shared.
That should look familiar, as I already reused it in Holidays for the sixth year of Crazy Eddie's Motie News.  Some things can be recycled more than once.

With that, I'm done with this project for this year.  YAY!  Stay tuned for a special Father's Day entry for Entertainment Sunday.
