Bill's Top Ten List
The Blog I write is a very modest one with necessarily modest standards of success. My own stardard is that, if put a piece on my Blog site and it gets 100 looks (looks are not reads), then it was worth my while to write and publish it. If a piece gets 200 looks, I am quite happy. Anything above 200 is great.
In the year 2014 by my count, I posted 77 Blogs. Now since the big boys are putting out Top 10 Lists at year's end, I thought I might as well. Here are my top ten determined by the number of "looks" in ascending order with brief notes about their content and in parentheses the dates of publication and the number of looks.
