2011 saw the move of this blog to Patheos and the transfer of the archives of older posts from the blog’s old home on Blogger. A retrospective seems to be in order, as the end of my first (partial) year at Patheos draws near.
I won’t list top 10s, but will instead mention a few highlights.
After that, most people came to the main blog page and so may have read any number of posts on such occasions. Other popular posts included ones on creationism, such as “Why Is Ken Ham Believed?”

Also high up in the top ten, and the highest ranking older content, was a post which has always been popular ever since it first appeared at my blog’s old location: my solution to the problem of getting a black screen after login on Windows Vista.

The post with the most comment activity might be expected to be ”An Example of How Answers in Genesis Does Violence to the Bible, and Not Just Science” with its 460 comments as of my writing this post. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/exploringourmatrix/2011/12/an-example-of-how-answers-in-genesis-does-violence-to-the-bible-and-not-just-science.html
But in fact, an earlier one about mythicism, discussing the evidence for a historical Earl Doherty, received an ever greater number of comments – more than 600! http://www.patheos.com/blogs/exploringourmatrix/2011/10/doherty-mythicism.html
Among the most common search keywords to bring people here have been “keep the han in hanukkah“, “isomorphic algorithms ” and “lost explained.”
Also, back in September I hosted the Biblical Studies Carnival. It seems like such a long time ago!
