Welcome 2025. Today we’re reviewing Comfort Spring’s most popular, viewed posts for 2024. I had 32 features last year. Most were recipes like Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice, Pumpkin Dip for Fall Holidays, Roasted Eggplant With Lemon Tahini Sauce, Caribbean Chicken Salad, Macerated Fruit with 2 features, and Grilled Pineapple Salsa. There was a few posts in home decor like Christmas Decorating with Dried Orange Slices with features at 3 parties. I love that Advent Acts of Kindness was featured. I spend a lot more time on some special posts, and I’m very happy when people like them. Many thanks to the link party hosts for their support.

I. When I look at posts written in 2024, recipes are very popular. Here are the top 8:

In terms of posts with the most visits, I must say I’m not sure how these posts became so popular, but I’m not complaining.I really can’t believe the number of visits I get according to the statistics. None of these folks ever comment, but I’m glad they come and hopefully find something useful. Eight of the top 10 posts are all over a year old.
II. Most Popular Posts Over 1 Year Old

#1 All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten The number one popular post is All I Need to Need to Know from 2018. It’s been in the top ten for a few years and continues to attract visitors. Written more than 25 years ago, Robert Fulghum’s best-selling book of essays, All I Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten, still speaks to millions of readers today. There was a huge surge in visitors from 5971 visitors came in 2023 to 11,870 in 2024!!! I don’t know how I have gotten so much traffic, but I do love that people wanted to read it. I like that this inspirational printable beat the recipes.

I started doing a review of posts in the new year when I first started blogging. It seemed to be something bloggers did. I find the statistics interesting, but I question whether my readers find it so. It really is a lot of work to put the post together, and it just sounds like bragging to me. If you enjoy this kind of post, tell me in the comments. Otherwise I think I’ll shorten or drop it next year.
I must thank all of my followers and frequent visitors. Your comments and feedback are priceless. I love developing my relationships with my bloggy friends. Let us all remember Robert Fulghum’s words, as we go out in the world, let’s remember to hold hands and stick together. Life is always easier with friends. I’m wishing us all a wonderful 2025 filled with peace, happiness, and good health.

32 features is amazing! What an achievement. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes.
For the first time ever I didn’t do a look back over the year blogpost. The most popular posts seem to be the same every year so I decided not to do it. I always enjoy reading other people’s look back over the year posts though – please do another one next year 🙂

Thanks for answering my question Catherine. I appreciate your feedback.
Great posts! I love trying new recipes. That fall apple-infused water sounds very refreshing. I’m always drinking water, so this may be a great way to add some flavor. Visiting from #MMBC
I think I read all of your posts from last year! All of the food looks so good, it’s making me quite hungry. I like seeing a recap like this. I don’t think it’s braggy, it’s something you should be proud of!
