year in review: most popular posts of 2016!

One of the most interesting parts of blogging for me is looking back on the year's post to see which were hits with readers and which were misses. I use Google Analytics, Blogger, and Pinterest to see what posts were popular each year and where visitors to Beyond the Aisle come from. I wasn't as diligent about blogging this year, and my visitor count and page views for 2016 definitely reflect that, but I never started doing this to enter a popularity contest!

Visitors - 13,571
Pageviews - 18,471
32% of Beyond the Aisle readers are ages 35-54, 31% are 25-34 years old, and 21% are 55-64. 90.3% are female.
