Vera's Top Ten

It's not like I'm celebrating any milestone. Yes, I've been blogging for almost seven years. I've posted almost seventeen hundred articles. I've had almost five million page views. But nothing special has happened lately, and there's no good reason why I'm doing this just now.  I just happened to be looking at my site statistics, something I used to do obsessively, but seldom do now, and I thought it might be fun  to show you the subjects of my most viewed posts. I've done this before, in 2013, but there have been some changes afoot recently, and I decided to share. Here then, in descending order,  and based strictly on page views, are the most popular guys who have appeared on this blog.  Enjoy!

#10- From August 18, 2010-  Mr. Tom Daley.

#9- From March 11, 2010- These Two Guys

#8- From July 1, 2008, this Sweaty Guy.

#7- From August 18, 2008- Lovely Austin Butler (and some girl).

#6- From October 30, 2013- Sean O'Donnell and his blue, blue eyes.

#5- From December 8. 2011- Toby Regbo,  and with all his clothes on!

AND FINALLY...

Lucky Blue Smith!

What's Popular At Vera's?

I used to obsessively monitor my page views and obsess over the entries that were popular or not. I'm not as interested in that anymore, but today, just out of curiosity, I looked at the list of my my top ten most popular posts.  I find it interesting that almost nothing on the list was something I put any particular effort into, and in fact, several were what I would consider to be filler posts- something I put up just to have something up.

For a long time, the most popular thing I posted here was the guy up there, a blond named Aaron Brückner. That post has slipped down to #3 now.  Three other "random shirtless guy"  posts have made the top ten.  They are:

#5

#6

Also #6

#10

The rest of the top ten are celebrities, except for this androgynous cutie who came in at #9.

 

So who are the top celebrities at Vera's? At #8 we have Landon Liboiron. This is actually a post that I put some effort into. I made all the screen captures myself.

Diving in at #7 is the always delightfully be-speedoed Tom Daley. 

 #4 is the delicious, and in these photos, awfully young, Austin Butler. 

#2 is Aaron Johnson, now Aaron Taylor-Johnson, sewing his wild oats back in the days before he settled down with his much older baby-mama. I miss this Aaron, but as long as he's happy.

And finally, the all-time #1, top viewed post on this blog... and I can't even show you the pictures.  That's because Google threw a fit because you could see a tiny bit of River Viiperi's butt, and made me take them down.  I can only link to it, here.

So that's it, the all-time most popular posts here.  What are your favorites?  What would you like to see in the future?  I eagerly await your replies, but I'm not holding my breath.

P.S.  I just noticed that this was my 1400th post here.  Golly.
