I blogged with WordPress for over 13 years at www.comfortspringstation.com. Just last week, I set up my new blog here on Blogspot. My old site will only continue to be live only until March. My goal is to post the most popular posts from Comfort Spring to Carol On The Lake. I wrote over a 1000 posts on that blog, and I certainly don't need to bring all of them over to my new one.
Since my old blog, www.comfortspringstation.com was a WordPress.org website, I had several plugins that gave me lots of information. A very important plugin is Jetpack. It provides protection, stats, and other functions. At the beginning of every month, I'd get a report from Jetpack on the visits to the blog by day, week, month. You can modify and search for a 12-month report, a report from the start of the year until now, and other interesting subjects like leading referrers.
In 2025, www.comfortspringstation.com had 146,841 views with 114,493 individual visitors.
The statistics from Jetpack were:

You will notice in the top 7 posts, 6 of them have links and have already been published on the blog. I apologize for so many posts in the last week. At first, I thought I should add these to the new blog right away, but that's not a fun nor practical way to share them. I put up the 6 from the top of the most visited posts list. I will add the others in the future. I like to blog on Monday about whatever is on my mind or happening. I'll sprinkle these mostly top recipes in the future posts on Mondays & Tuesdays. As I publish or schedule from the list, I'll add a new link to this post. I'll feature this post for the first year. Let's see how many actually are published.
Update 2/9/26
I have written and scheduled all but 5 posts of the top 50. I should easily finish writing and scheduling the 50 in the next week.
On Thursdays, I usually post nature photos. I like to participate in Yogi's Den's link party, Sky Watch Friday on Thursday afternoons. The quality of photography is outstanding, and I do love looking at the sky. Whether blue skies, dark winter clouds, sunrise, or sunset, I like them all.
That is my plan for my blog. It's a similar pattern of posts as Comfort Spring, but I did lots more posts there. I hope you drop by and visit me here at Carol on the Lake, and I'll drop by and visit you on yours if you have one. Have a great week and STAY WARM! The weather is terrible!
This post was shared on these fabulous link parties!


How interesting to see your top blog posts from 2025. I think I read almost all of them. It sounds like you are doing well with Blogspot. I didn't even know you could feature a blog post on the top and I've been using it for just over 13 years. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm still learning and moving gadget around!
DeleteThis is a wonderful idea, Carol. I have noticed on my blog that recipes get a lot more hits than other topics. I guess they will come up in general internet searches. I don't often blog a recipe but perhaps I'll begin adding some more --I certainly cook a lot! :)
ReplyDeleteBlog about whatever makes you happy. I always enjoy your trips and photos, but I'll enjoy any foody post too!
DeleteWhat an amazing and welcoming space you've created, Carol, so nice to look back on the best of the year.

Thanks, Amalia. It's a work in progress but I'm getting there. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new blog, Carol. Blogger has more limitations than WP.org, but at least you can still use css and html. Best wishes for your success! ♥
ReplyDeleteCarol what a great list! I love the new look and can't wait to see how you expand on your blogging! #MMBC
ReplyDeleteFor the first year, many of my recipes will be repeated from the old blog, but there's always something new to add.
DeleteThat is quite the job.. looks like you have it all planned out well.
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by, Hena.
DeleteThis is a great list! Thanks for sharing it Carol. I can see I will be bookmarking this one :) Hope all goes well with you and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'll have it featured for most of this year, if that helps!
ReplyDeleteYou had so wonderful posts, I remember making the spinach and potato recipe #2
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed them.
