We’ve moved into another calendar year. As per a long-standing tradition, I spent New Year’s Eve with my sister and our cousin eating lots of yummy food and drinking sparkling grape beverages (Moscato d’Asti this year). And per a tradition established just last year, today I’m sharing post highlights from my blogging year.

I started doing this type of post last year with Top 5 lists. I’d wanted to do top 10 then, but there hadn’t been quite enough traffic to make the posts that didn’t make the top 5 lists stand out from each other. As you can see in the graph, there was quite a bit more traffic this year. And I’m really close to 1,500 followers now, so that’s exciting! 

Posts With The Most Traffic

The INFJ User Guide remains firmly at the top of this year’s list. In fact, all but two of my most popular posts are directly relate to INFJ types. It’s so cool to see “Religion And The INFJ” on the list for this year. It’s become the most commented-on posts on my blog and I’ve been thrilled to have so many INFJs with different religious (and a-religious) backgrounds sharing their stories.

1. INFJ User Guide (published 6/20/2016)
2. The Vanishing INFJ (published 11/28/2016)
3. Religion and the INFJ (published 10/17/2016)
4. INFJ Dark Side (published 3/31/2014)
5. How To Be Friends With An INFJ (published 10/13/2014)

Top 2017 Posts – Monday

I’m so excited to see that several of my posts where I interviewed Christians with different Myers-Briggs types about their faith were so popular last year. And while most of the high-traffic posts on the list above were from 2015 and 2016, the newer ones did pretty good this year as well. Only the last one on this list was under 1,000 views. The top one had over 12,000.

1. Dating Your Mirror: ENFP and INFJ Relationships
2. Want To Date An INFJ? Here’s 15 Things We’d Like You To Know

Top 2017 Posts – Saturday

2017 has been a year for narrowing the gap between the two sides of my blog (Christian and Myers-Briggs). Saturday’s Bible study posts still aren’t eclipsing the Monday posts in terms of traffic, but some of the most popular ones have over 500 views this year. Here’s the top 10 list:

1. Spiritual PTSD
2. Addressing Disunity In the Churches of God
3. Healthy Christian Boundaries and Loving People You Don’t Like
4. The Gift of Prophecy
5. Clean Temples For Yom Kippur
6. Show Christ’s Love, Not Your Judgement
7. Too Proud To Follow God
8. As You Love Yourself (this one’s based on a seminar I gave at a YA retreat)
9. Always Love, Never Compromise: Relating To Those Outside Your Faith
10. Grief, Guilt, and Comfort For the Saint (this is one of 2017’s guest posts)

The top 4 stayed the same, as I’d expected. And like last year, I have quite a few readers from south-east Asia. It’s interesting to see more people from India, Germany, and South Africa joining us. I’ve also heard directly from several readers in South America, which is pretty cool.
