Tabulating

 

This is a test to see which kind of address blocking I prefer. Long ago, I used pens or pencils to cover up the addresses when doing the photographs. Then I switched to the top version - copying the city/state/ZIP and. covering the street. The bottom version is a lot faster - but, it's so distracting. Grrrrrr.

As previously mentioned, I am taking a break from surfing. However, I know that when I do surf, this is the image that I see the most often. There is an admin tab on the blog with a nifty graph that shows how many page views each page has gotten. For the longest time, this image was clearly the top image - which has been previously mentioned.

It first ran on Nov 30, 2016 and the top envelope is from Lynne and the bottom is from Rachael. It has been viewed 37,944 times.

Recently, I checked the blog stats and there were some HUGE spikes. I have not looked at all of them, but here is the one that has the new top-dog status with 95,531 - that's a lotta views. I would not rank this one very high on my wow-scale. It's fun - but it's a style I toss off without much planning and it could have been a lot better. I sure wonder why it's been so popular. 

My apologies for this being a nerdy post with nothing to say about design - but, you just have to put up with me. 

For newer people - who may wonder who that Wilma is - that was the mom who put up with me for 64 years. If you do a search for *Wilma* on the blog, you'll see a bunch more sent to her. Also search Flintstone. I put her name as Wilma Flintstone one month and those envelopes didn't pop up on the *Wilma* search - and there are some fun ones.

This was the sign at Wilma's senior living apartment - next to the mail boxes. My son confirms from his  stint at delivering mail that seniors can get pretty rambunctious when the mail carrier arrives.
