It's almost as good!
Today, July 26th, marks a special day in the history of The mj15 Blog. It is the day where, two years ago, I wrapped up six hours of typing on my desktop keyboard and uploaded this, the first ever blog post in the history of this site. To summarize, it featured winners predictions for the (at the time) upcoming 2009 Emmy awards (a tradition I continue to this day, as you may have noticed during these past few weeks), a very memorable quote during the last moments that Stephon Marbury could be considered a "current" NBA player and my first of my countless mentioning of Bill Simmons. Two years, 330 or so posts, around 10,000 total hits (thanks, whoever you are!) and one permanent move from one blog domain to another, I am still happy to say that this blog is still operating and continuing to thrive (if you count an average of three to four posts per week, with work that is half-assed half of the time thriving, that is).
And, just like last year, I will be commemorating this special milestone in the site's history by spending the next week introducing the "Fabulous Five" that will be inducted members into The mj15's Blog's 2011 Hall of Fame Class. For those of you that don't know, the blog's annual "Hall of Fame" induction ceremony is where I introduce a group of five people, things and/or moments that can be considered highlights of this blog's two year history based on the extensive amount of times that I covered them during a certain point or the enjoyment that I had covering them. The criteria pretty much follows the same that I wrote down one year ago, with one change. To be a member into the "Hall of Fame" one must have fulfilled two of the following qualifications:
1. It must have been mentioned and/or honored in at least two separate blog posts and mentioned at least once during an installment of "End of the Week," "End of the Month," or "End of the Year."
2. It must have been a fun topic for mj15 to cover in these past two years of blog posts.
As you can see, not much has changed in terms of the criteria. However, unlike last year, anything from the past two years in blog posts are eligible, including the people and moments that I listed in last year's honorable mentions post. To get you an idea, here are the five that were inducted into last year's inaugural Hall of Fame class:
The 2009 Tiger Woods Sex Scandals
South Carolina
The 2010 Tonight Show Conflict
Matthew Clemens
Bill Simmons
Hope that you stick around this week, beginning tomorrow evening, to see the Hall of Fame inductees that I selected. In the meantime, I'd figure that I spend this remaining space that I have honoring the things that helped get what every blogger or blog owner loves to see: viewership. Without further ado, with help from my beloved friends Google Search and StatCounter, here are the top posts and traffic sources that have brought the most viewers to The mj15 Blog during the past year.

Kind of strange to look at the search keywords. I've already commented on the Kiernan Shipka thing before, but that is still creepy even if it already happened 11 months ago. Also, since the post with the WrestleMania 27 stage design and the one with Katy Perry's bouncing boobs on "Saturday Night Live" are part of two of my three most read blog posts from the past year, it's no surprise that they would also count as some of my three most popular keywords as well.
So, that's all for now. See you tomorrow (hopefully)!
Sincerely,
