The concept of the "long-tail" is interesting in the context of blogs. Some blog posts have a long shelf-life. The longer they're around, the more momentum they get and the more they climb the search-engine rankings. I did some research to go back through the last five year of blogging I've done and was surprised to see the blogs that had most viewers. Here they are - the numbers to the right are the number of people who have read them.

1. Are short-term missions becoming faddish?        54,143

4. Revival in Lakeland, FL              31,299

5. I'll disciple you          15,459

6. What do you say to a dying friend?      14,500

7. What is Christian art?                     14,225

8. Mother Teresa's poem - "Anyway"           13,733

9. Fathers, bless your children             13,393

10. Raised from the dead or a hoax?    11,595,

And the next three just for kicks:
