I Know About Popular

I'm a month away from having blogged for three years - can you believe it?  While my style and content have evolved somewhat over that time as I've found my voice and become more comfortable expanding beyond my expat niche, I love looking back at those old posts and remembering who I was back then and seeing how far I've come.  Yes, as Lisa said last week, they sometimes make me cringe because I really didn't know what I was doing, but they're part of my story and keeping them up (and cleaning them up) helps hold me honest as a blogger.

So when I decided to create a top posts page for Betsy Transatlantically, I knew I had to include a few selections from the archives.  I picked my favorites based on those that have been most visited over the years but also those that feel most true to me - I'd love to have 20 up there, but I got sucked into fixing old posts with broken links and misattributed images and just decided to publish with 6 for now.  I do want to add to the page, though, so please let me know if you have suggestions for what I should include!

(This song has been stuck in my head all morning as I've worked on this post, which is why I put a lyric up as the title, so it's only fair to share it with you...)
