It's been awhile since I've done one of these Most Read posts.  Back in May in fact.  Five months.  Heck, I've started this post a number of times as well only to push it back further and further along.

So anyway, let's see what's popular around here for the last 5 months.

(And let's see when I'll remember to do the next one.)

Yes, I've complained previously, I know.  Had four blocks of time today with no results reported.  It's really annoying.

And still nothing on their blog about the issues.

I have to admit that I click on that whos.amung.us logo every so oftne during the day to see what folks are reading.  They must have gotten really popular recently because I keep seeing holes like th eone to the left there at least once if not two or three times a day.  I see it on other's folk's pages as well so I know it's not me.

There's nothing about it on their blog either.  I wish they would either fix the issue or at least admit that there's an issue.

*snort* Maybe Matt should buy them.

...At least around here.  The data is taken from the beginning of the year and looks so very close.

The Netscape at 6th place is probably me.  I wonder what this site looks like when viewed with a Playstation Portable.

Well, May, 2008, has come and gone and I've gone ahead and dug out the numbers.  Rather different numbers compared to the previous month.  Let's take a look.

The most read post for the month is a collection of fan drawn Kim Possible artworks posted to DevianArt.  Probably should fix how the thumbnails look on that page someday.

Runner up is a link to a rather interesting collection of Mac Desktop Wallpapers.

Third and fourth posts in that list is a list of Dragon Magazines that you can download as *.pdfs.

Fifth post is our take on how Mediamax screwed over its clients.  Sixth is a link to an MSNBC article on hypermilers.  Seventh is a video from Family Guy of Peter singing the song Rock Lobster.

Eighth is where I was wonder which Happy Potter I should get: Go see the movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, or get the new book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  Of course at the time, I thought it was moot as we thought we could download the new Harry Potter novel.

Ninth post on the list was some more Kim Possible pictures posted to Deviantart.  Tenth was some Harry Potter artwork posted on deviantart.

Other posts of interest were:

• Godaddy spam
• UPS bans left turns to save gas - When will NASCAR do the same?
• 50 things not to do at Hogwarts
• My Daria fanfiction - Pairings
• My Daria fanfiction - Cynic Hood
• Wordpress says no to Sponsored Links in Themes but gets caught adding them into their own sites
• Is nofollow worth it?
• My links page
• Robot Chicken's Charlie Brown and The Great Pumpkin
• Google Adsense cuts their rates

Here's a couple of my own choices:

Kim Possible's Mission to Hell (I fixed the missing chapter 2 link)
Crash on Volturnus (I really should work on both of those.)

The most read post for the year so far?  The mac desktop wallpapers one.

I haven't done one of these in quite a while but lets take a look at what posts get the highest number of visits for the last few months.

Download Dragon Magazine and Download Dragon magazine part 2 still top the list. (Hmmm, I wonder why.) A link to some interesting Mac desktop wallpapers still holds the number 3 spot.

An embed of the first Daria episode, Esteemsters, now takes the forth spot.  It's a pity that the video no longer is hosted anywhere.  Sorry about that.  I do keep looking though.

50 Things Not to do at Hogwarts is fifth.

A bunch of Kim Possible pictures on Deviantart is sixth.

The song Rock Lobster from the Family Guy is seventh. That one is plastered on the net.  It'll never go away.

Someone trying to passoff their fanfiction as Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows is eighth.  You know I still get folks leaving comments on that post thanking me for the link?

The category page for Rapidshare is ninth and the one for Megaupload is tenth.

Some other interesting posts that get a fair number of reads are:

• Do pretty girls fart?
• Kim Possible and the little black dress
• Free trac hosting
• Daria pilot - Sealed with a kick
• The mess with mediamax
• How to dry a cat
• The most racist thing I've ever seen
• Shego desktop wallpaper
• Robot Chicken and the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
• And Chapter 1 of Crash on Volturnus (I really should finish that some day)

I was over at Quantcast registering a site for a client and noticed that wordpress.com is listed on their front page as a "Recently Quantified Publisher." We'll ignore for now that they've been registered with them and Quantcast's javascript has been on the site since February, 2007 and what they mean by "Recently" but I had a chuckle looking at the traffic numbers for sites hosted on their servers.

Rather interesting that icanhascheezburger.com gets roughly ten times the traffic that scobleizer.com does.
