An all-time record number of visitors dropped by this site in April, which is both gratifying and surprising. I've always said that I'd keep blogging even if no one was reading this because the stuff here is my digital dumping ground for notes, background, and observations that I often find useful to refer to somewhere down the road. The notebook metaphor is a good one except that this notebook is digital, available to me wherever there's a Web connection and searchable by keyword. (In covering the Conservative in government, for example, I've often looked back to the stuff I blogged when that party's grassroots held its first and only policy convention in 2005.)
With that, here's a review of the most popular posts, as measured by the number of times they were viewed, by the 120,569 unique visitors to this site in April, 2008. These are the top 20 with their original posting date is in brackets.
