If ever I needed proof that time is not linear, this blog is Exhibit A. It seems like I just collected monthly clips last week, but here we are looking backwards at July. Maybe the month flew by because the stories were so engaging? Check out the list below and see what you think.

Popular Posts

July was the month that Google Analytics switched to a new version, and although I thought I updated everything correctly, that is rarely true. So I wasn’t really surprised when WordPress and Analytics generated completely different lists of most popular posts for July. I don’t really know which list to believe, but maybe you’ll find one of them interesting.
