Amazingly, WordPress has just told me that I have been blogging for seven years.  The statistics for this time are:

• 1,261 posts
• 707 comments
• 157,343 views

Haven’t you lot got anything better to do?

Interestingly, the list of most popular posts has remained pretty constant for the past few years.  Here are the top 12 posts:

Minories #1 – the original design		7,363
Off my trolley – streetcars and trolley layouts		5,238
A small shunting layout		3,129
Minories #2 – Out in the suburbs		3,034
Folding baseboards from down-under		1,901
ESNG EXHIBITIONS		1,839
Shelf layout design		1,617
Minories #3 – alternative Minories…..		1,576
Off my trolley – interurban branchlines – 1		1,553
An N-gauge micro-layout		1,508
Wisbech & Upwell doodles		1,471
Not quite a Minories		1,386

I remain surprised how my ‘Minories’ posts remain the most read over the four years since they were written.  And there is a continuing interest in traction layouts and shelf, small and micro-layouts.

I’d confess that I get a bit stressed with Google these days.  If you Google ‘Minories’ or some of these other topics, and look at the images, you are referred to esngblog.  I suppose that’s a sort of fame, but it’s very frustrating when I am the one looking for new ideas!

Perhaps I should build that Minories layout I keep talking about……
