The most commented posts are about problems with Windows and Office, and reflect the number of people searching for a solution who land up on this blog. Only a tiny proportion of readers actually post a comment, so the top few posts above are evidence of a large amount of frustration.<\/p>\n I highly value the comments, especially when they form a reply or clarification from the organization which is the subject of the post – like this one<\/a> from Zoho. <\/p>\n FireFox usage has increased from 14% in 2006 to 20% in 2007.<\/p>\n The biggest source of incoming links is programming.reddit.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n The five top search keywords are: 2007, Outlook, Vista, Slow and .NET.<\/p>\n I enjoy doing this blog and web site, though there are a couple of frustrations. One is that I have more material than I get time to write up. Another is that while the ads on the site pay for the hosting, they don’t do much more than that, and I would like to find a way to make web self-publishing viable.<\/p>\n I also muse over whether the range of subjects here is too broad. I post in three broad categories:<\/p>\n Most of the subscribers to the blog probably want what is in the first category, especially as it is in this area that I can supply the most original content, sourced from interviews or conferences. The problem solving posts find a different readership via Google. My good intentions to narrow the focus more towards programming fall away when I have some other topic I want to write about, though I do keep it strictly to tech-related topics.<\/p>\n Update<\/em>: fixed the list (missed a few)<\/p>\n Here are the posts that received the most comments on ITWriting.com this year: Vista display driver takes a break (220 comments) Outlook 2007 is slow, RSS broken (173 comments) Annoying Word 2007 problem- can\u2019t select text (101 comments) Why Outlook 2007 is slow- Microsoft\u2019s official answer (95 comments) Adobe CS3 won\u2019t install (35 comments) Delphi … Continue reading 2007: the most commented posts, and a bit of blog introspection<\/span> A few more stats<\/h3>\n
